About Brown/Magill Family History
Please sign in to see more. Many thanks to my mum's cousin Tom Magill for doing most of the legwork on the Magill side, and for recording the memories of his late father Joe. Also thanks to my mum, Paddie Brown, her sister Maureen Cousley, their cousin Joe Magill and his daughter Elaine Magill for their input. Much of the information on the Brown side comes from my uncle, Ian Brown, with some from my dad, Stephen Brown, and some from my mum. Many of my earliest ancestors on the Brown side come from my great great great great great great great grandfather's great great great great great great grandson John Burness in Canada. Thanks to all who've helped.
Thanks to John's research I now know I'm distantly related by marriage to the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns! His father's cousin's son Alexander Burness married Christian Brown, sister of my great great great great grandfather Andrew Brown. Also, Robert Burns' cousin's son David Burness married Katherine Milne, sister of my great great great great great grandmother Mary Milne. How 'bout that?
