I'm looking for any information on a Brown family that moved to Bermuda from Scotland or Ireland around 1870

Question

Their names were Duncan Brown and Margaret Brown. Duncan Brown was a sapper with the Royal Engineers. They probably had two children, one of whom was called Robert William Brown, born in 1879. To date, in spite of my best efforts I have never found any information or ancestors.

Answer 1

The best source for Scottish records is scotlandspeople.gov.uk. You can search their indexes for free, but need to buy credits if you want to view images of the records.

Answer 2

From 1871 Worldwide index of British Army

Duncan Brown, service number 8048, sapper 21st company Royal Engineers. Headquarters Cork Harbour, Ireland. National Archives ref WO 11/360.

Duncan Brown is a popular name, so not certain it is the one you are looking for.
