Thomas Brown¹

(say 1760 - between 1805 and 1865)

BMDB data

     Thomas Brown was born say 1760 ?Linlithgow, WLN, SCT.¹
     Thomas Brown married Agnes Henderson in 1786 Par. of Linlithgow, WLN, SCT, entry, on a page that looks to be pasted in separate entries: Thomas Brown and Agnes Henderson irregularly (no entries on SctP for Stirling or Edinburgh.)²
     Thomas Brown died bet. 1805 - 1865 ?Linlithgow, WLN.¹

Can anyone prove that the four children below all belong to the same Thomas BROWN and Agnes HENDERSON?
Or add any children into the gaps?
With four extant baptisms and nothing conclusive to link the four there has to be at least a little bit of doubt given the gap between Thomas1787 ("first born", at Linn-miln) and William 1799 (Thomas a merchant); From William to Agnes (1803, Thomas a "taner") and Jean (1807 no occupation given - not the Jean of an age married to Robert LECKIE)
My interest is a dna match to a descendant of Agnes (married David SHARP) - not that we yet have proven that it is this line of her ancestry we match on, but the presence of a HENDERSON, who would be a contempory of our brickwall Archibald's father perhaps, albeit 28 miles away.³
