The Family of John Brown b. 1793 d. 1823
John Brown, Thomas Huntley Brown's father, married Ann Ocheltrie at St Albans, Earsdon, in 1812. They had a family of 4 daughters and 1 son.
Thomas and his sister Ann were both baptised on the same day, 10 Jan 1817, but there is no evidence they were twins. Thomas states his birth date was 8 Mar 1815 (see application) and this correlates with his age on his son Thomas Ross Brown's birth certificate in 1856. It is likely that Ann was born in either Dec 1816 or Jan 1817 and a double baptism followed.

How are Captain Thomas Huntley Brown and Jane Rider (left - c. 1890) connected to the McLaran family from Dalby?
Brown (39), First Officer aboard the immigrant ship General Hewitt in 1854, parted company with the ship to try his luck in the new colony, and within 4 months married a passenger from the ship, 17 year old Jane Rider.
The Captain passed away in 1876 and Jane married Lewis James Eversden in 1880. From the late 1870's onwards, she influenced the future directions, the investments & marriages of not only her own, but also the Eversden, Dockrill and McLaran families.
Born over 200 years ago, Brown is an enigmatic player in this story. It seems his Northumberland family may have had connections to Scotland as his both his mother's and grandmother's surnames (Ocheltrie and Huntley) belong to Scottish towns.
In 1855, The Captain identified a very capable (and very young!) Jane Rider as the woman with whom he wished to spend the rest of his life. Without Jane Rider and Thomas Huntley Brown, the McLaran - Eversden family history would be a very different tale indeed.
