David BRAND was born 24 April 1807 in Tulliallan parish in Perthshire, Scotland.
He was the 7th child (and 3rd son) of David BRAND and Jean FOTHERINGHAM.
Not a lot is known of this family as yet... well, not as much I would like to know.
The family appear to have arrived in Kincardine on Forth, Perth between 1796 and 1799, coming from Carnock, Fife.
David BRAND married Agnes GRAY on 9 January 1831 in Tulliallan.
Agnes was born 13 December 1805 in Tulliallan and was the eldest daughter (and 4th child) of
James GRAY and Euphemia (or Euphans) MEICKLEJOHN.
