James Brough
1752 (approx) - 1???
 
James was Calum's and Jamie's great great great great great great grandfather.
 
James was believed to have been born in Kinclaven, Perthshire, in 1752 (as sourced from the IGI). A record for a James Brough cannot be found in Kinclaven at this time, but there are two other Brough chldren born near then, both the children of James Brough and Grizel Gathruthy, born in 1711 in the parish. These were Robert Brough, born September 10th 1738, and Isobel Brough, born July 13th 1740.  There is a strong possibility therefore that Grizel and James are the parents of our James, but this cannot be confirmed as yet.
 
James was a weaver who married Ann Lamb in Kinclaven on December 21st 1777, with the banns having been previously called in the parish on November 23rd.
 
The couple went on to have four children in the parish. It is not known yet when James died.
 
 
CHILDREN OF JAMES BROUGH AND ANN LAMB:
James Brough
b: 7/5/1778
 
James was born on May 7th 1778 in Kinclaven and christened on May 23rd.  It is believed that James married Agnes Marshal in the parish of Kinclaven on March 28th 1809, although the record has not as yet been confirmed.
 
 
 
Andrew Brough
b: 2/6/1780
 
Andrew was born in Kinclaven on June 2nd 1780, and christened in the parish on June 5th.
 
 
 
Ann Brough
b: 31/3/1782
 
Anne was Calum's and Jamie's great great great great great grandmother - see below.
 
 
 
Mary Brough
b: 27/6/1786  d: 20/10/1871
 
Mary was born in Kinclaven on June 27th 1786,and christened in the parish on July 15th.
 
In the 1851 census, Mary is incorrectly listed as a 75 year old pirn filler (of linen yarn for hand loom weaving) living alone in Airntully, Kinclaven. And in the 1871 census, Mary is again listed, this time correctly, as an 85 year old unmarried pauper, originally from Kinclaven (GROS:365/0/3/0/005). Just a few months later, Mary ended her days living at her nephew James Rogers' house in Airntully, where she died at the age of 85 at 11.00am on October 20th. The cause was old age and frailty, and her nephew informed the Kinclaven registrar on the 21st. Throughout her life, Mary remained unmarried (GROS:1871/365/00/010).
