Tim Hill notes:
Margaret was born circa 1790. She was the daughter of John Miller and Margaret (?)
She married John Brown, son of Daniel Brown and Jannet McNab, at St. Ninian's on Saturday, 3 July 1813 at Stirling. Margaret and John Brown became the parents of Margaret Brown on Thursday, 14 May 1818 at Stirling.
Margaret and her husband John emmigrated with their six children from Liverpool on 28 February 1839 on the 'Heber'. The ship embarked with 178 emmigrants. The family was brought out by Donald McIntyre of Invermein, one of a number of private Scottish emigrant operators who had settled in Australia - he brought out 57 emigrants on the 'Heber', nearly all country people from the Highlands; shepherds and labourers and their families.5,6,7 After a voyage of nearly 6 months Margaret and her husband John arrived at Botany Bay on 27 July 1839 with their children. The ship's first port of call had been the Cape of Good Hope, where they embarked a further two passengers. They left the Cape on the 28th of May 1839. The trip was not without tragedy; 5 children died on the voyage.
