hello.

yeh i can provide those details thanks. Jessie Brown nee hinksman was born 12 Dec 1845 Fife Scotland died 1895 forgan fife. Charles Brown was born 24 Mar 1845 Kilrenny Fife Scotland died unknown hes was a Sea Captain, he married Jessie hinksman in 02 Dec 1870 Forgan Fife Scotland.

No census details can be found for either of them well none that i can see, have sent alot of time in the area trying to look for there graves.

I did manage to find that they had the following kids that Charles brown and Jessie Hinksman had, but after posting requests and looking for details i couldnt find nothing on them.

Jessie Hinksman and Charles Brown Kids are,
Ethel Brown 1875 Scotland
Georgina Brown Scotland
Charles Hunter Brown 15 Jun 1874 Ferry port on Craig Fife Scotland
Jane Annie Brown 02 Nov 1871 forgan fife
jessie Brown 1873 Scotland
? Brown 28 Dec 1872 Ferry port on Craig Fife Scotland

I have no information on any of the kids if they got married or not, except for Charles Hunter Brown which is as follows.
he married

kids
Harold Brown
Murray Brown
Norman Brown

Have no information on Charles Hunter Browns wife or his kids birth dartes etc, i do know that Charles Hunter Brown was also a Capt as his father was , he became an instructer of navigation at Dundee and thereafter head of Navigation at Glasgow School of Martime Studies in the late 1930s.

Thanks for the help very much so i seem to have been stuck on these branch for  a fair while now.

No idea what happened to all the 1870s born children (apart from Charles who is with his maternal grandparents) but this looks like Jessie alone in 1881:

Jessie Brown, ship master's wife, 35, b. Largo, Fife
Isobell  Harley, Visitor, Widowed, 64,  Field Worker b. Ferry Port On Craig, Fife

Address: Castle Street, Ferry Port On Craig, Fife

This is the marriage entry of Charles Hunter Brown:

1903   BROWN   CHARLES H   MURRAY   MARGARET RAITT   ST MARY   DUNDEE CITY/ANGUS   282/02 0168

Explains the name of at least one of his sons    You have two MURRAY Brown births in Dundee between 1903-6 (cut off date on SP) and one NORMAN Brown birth for the same period that might be worthwhile you checking out.
