you will need to find out if they were non-conformist - if so, you will have to search the church records, because they are not recorded in OPR
Looks like they probably are

Berwickshire / Re: Broomfield and Brownfield related
« on: Monday 29 January 18 13:32 GMT (UK) »
the Scottish Borders dialect changes slightly between town and villages throughout the area, for instance Hawick and Galashiels are only 18 miles apart, but in some cases you would think there are speaking two languages, and although Hawick dialect can be the extreme and if the person writing the documents is not from the area you will find differences, usually with the vowels in the spelling, but if the person doesn't understand the dialect you get wider difference for Instance Broomfield can become Broonfield, which in turn could become Brownfield , because Brown is pronounced Broon in the local dialects.
So, it could be that Broomfield & Brownfield are related.
NB: The Scottish Borders dialects are linked to old Scots and the tone of the local dialects can effect the spelling too. and just by hearing someone speak in the local area, some can tell which part of the Borders the person is originally from
