Neil Brown, who was born in Heylipol in 1819, emigrated to Canada with his twin brother Donald and five sisters in the late 1840s. Donald became ill, probably with ‘ship fever’ (typhus transmitted by body lice), and died on their arrival in Port Whitby, Ontario.
In 1858 Neil married Sarah Henderson from Nova Scotia. The couple had twelve children over the next nineteen years, including one set of twins: Mary (1859), Janet (1861), Katherine (1863), Margaret (1864), Donald (1866), Flora (1868), Sarah Ann (1870), Isabelle (1874,) Angus (1875) Christena and Phemma (1876), and John (1877). Donald, Phemma and John died before the age of four.
In common with many Scottish emigrants in the 19th century, the couple were deeply religious. Worship was held every day in their home. Sarah read the scripture then Neil led in prayer using the Gaelic tongue.
