Hi Kilsyth

Regarding your reply to 51st Regiment. He and I are both researching the same family. May I ask about Jane?

What was Jane's date and place of birth and father's name - did you find this out? Grateful if you could advise.

Jane married in 1856 a John Brown. On the marriage certificate it says her name was Devine? Any info about this?

We are descended from Jane and John Brown's daughter. Many thanks.

I have Jane born 1828 in Tyrone. Her parents were William Ferguson and Mary Lambie. I believe the certificate you have is her marriage to John Brown. I have been unable to find out what happened to John after 1871. Have you had any success.

Hello

I am also researching this family tree.

In the 1856 marriage cert for Jane she gives her name as Jane Devine. Her father is given as Devine a farm labourer and then Mary Lamie.

Kilsyth - you have Jane born in 1828 any parish in Tyrone and if there is an entry for her birth does it give William Ferguson and Mary as her parents?

I am confused . if they are her parents why is she called Devine etc on the marriage certificate?

John Brown is on the 1871 census at EAND g Turnpike road in Lanarkshire, Bothwell. Jane is dead by then. he is aged 60 . I havent found his death certificate yet.

I agree that the marriage certificate can lead to doubts. Over the years I have done a lot of research into this line and others and not every certificate is 'correct'. In this case I am willing to accept it is my Jane going on other information which backs it up -eg census, certificates, names linked with the family etc. A problem with the certificate may be due to the Irish
accent with the registrar recording what he heard. Just a thought.
Intersted to hear that you haven't found John either. I think he and his family along with some others may have left the country so that is what I am going
to look at next

very interesting Kilsyth. I will let you know what happens with John.

[agnesbrown]

You know that William died and Mary remarried a Mr Little any info on when these guys died?

[Kilsyth]

I think Marry's husband died in Ireland. In one census Mary Little was staying with John Brown recordef as his mother in law.

We know William and Mary married in Tullyniskan in 1834. I think William died around 1845 and Mary married William Little. If he dies in Ireland do you know when Jane and Mary came to Scotland?

John Brown's dad was Henry Brown and mother Margaret Mackie. Any info on these two?
