Notes for Jean Mayne
Wm Trotter: "who was an aunt of William, Robert & Chas. Otway (?) Mayne."
She and John Brown also had two other sons who died as infants, making a total of 15 children.

TFPL, Apr 2008: She d. after 1799 as she was alive when his testament was processed in the Glasgow Commissary Court in 29 March of that year.
_____________________

I have searched for her possible death in the Scots records, using ‘Mayne’, Mayn’ and ‘Main’ for her surname with death between 1799 and 1838, when she would have been close to 100.  Nothing appeared relevant.  So I tried her with the surname of Brown and with ‘Other Details’ set to John Brown; But this did not show up anything clear either.

She had/has 422 descendants; do none of them know anything about her death?  (I certainly don’t!)
______________________

Nor did she leave any testament in Scotland.  Nor any will in England.

But Happy Haggis has provided this report of her death:

December 14, 1823
THE EDINBURGH ANNUAL REGISTER 1823 - Page 373
‘.... Glasgow, Mrs Brown, relict of the late John Brown, Esq., merchant in Glasgow.’


The trouble with this is that the page 373 of the 1823 Register does not contain this report.  I have downloaded (thanks to archive.org once more) the Chronicle section of he Register, pages 1 to 476, and have then searched through all of the deaths section.

I have also done the same for the 1824 Register, but cannot do it for 1822 as the Chronicle section has not been saved.
