Thomas Brown - Beatrix Kyle m.1773

[BillRichardson]

Thomas and Beatrix were married in Hawick 24.06.1773. They had one son that I can trace - Adam James Brown 1790 who may have been a portrait painter. They seemed to have moved to Alnwick. Can anyone please help - Thomas' or Beatrix's parents or any developments concerning their family. This is my first go with this - hope I haven't asked too much.

Hi Bill and welcome to RootsChat. Do you have the other kids. I have

Walter 21 Jan 1793
Helen 23 December 1782
Agnes 1 June 1785
Jane 20 January 1780
Margaret 22 May 1787

Also to Thomas William Brown and Beatrix Kyle (Are they the same couple) All dates are christenings in Hawick.

James 1 December 1775
William 5 March 1774

These might be worth a look at for the parents of Beatrix.

James Kyle and Agnes Mitchelhill married Hawick 18 December 1751. I can only find christenings from 1757.

William 1757
John 1759
Walter 1765.

This leaves from 1751 to 1757 for other possible births. The names featured certainly fit with those of Thomas and Beatrix's children, so might be worth a look.

Hi Bill
Thomas Brown and Beatrix Kyle are on my family tree. They are the likely parents of my ggg grandfather, Adam Brown who was born c1790 in Hawick.
Sadly I have never been able to find out who the couple's parents were but I do know that Thomas was a shoemaker by trade and a Hawick Burgess.
However if you would like to know more about Adam Brown, then please get in touch by personal message
Kind regards
