Alan of Kaslo,
Thanks so much for spending so much time Searching for John Brown, I really appreciate your effort, this information is a possible lead to the family.
I have Spent 2 days searching any leads, trying various names especially the the name Napier to see if that is a maiden name for mother or Grandmother, but it could also come for Thomas's wife
Mary Duffy, side of the family .
I have been reading information for Reg of Foot and Edinburgh Gentlemen's Volunteers
to try and understand where the regiments were and what they were doing at the time of Thomas's birth abt 1811.
With only the 1 snippets of information on wedding Announcement of Euphemia (My 2x GG mother)
Granddaughter of the Late Major John Browne, it is not a lot to go on.
On Thomas's death Cert it has Thomas Browne "Musican"
Family Tales that passed down?, said they were both Band masters,
could Major John Brown, Edinburgh Volunteers refer to this?.
I do find it hard understanding the Regiments as I also found the,
9th Royal Veteran Battalion, 91st Reg of Foot was also in Edinburgh at the same time
this makes mentions about "Bands" performing.

I also search for children's birth's in China for Harold and John, No Harold found, 2 possible for John 1840 & 1842, followed the 2 men to USA, but information didn't fit with my John.
thank you for your Advice.
Thank you again Alan of Kalso & Neale 1961,
every piece of information helps and may eventually lead to a find.
Cheers for a happy and safe Easter
