: I am hoping to find information on my father's g grandparents Angus NICHOLSON and Janet CAMPBELL. I did an online search of the IGI and found what I think is their marriage - 29 January, 1850 Portree, Inverness, Scotland, but have have had no success in finding birthdates for them or their children.
: Angus, Janet and children Mary (Dad's grandmother) and John emigrated to Australia in 1854 on board the "Edward Johnstone". Any clues would be gratefully accepted.
Reply to Robyn:
My Stewart g.g grandparents and 3 chldren were on that same ship,arriving at Portland, Vic in 1854. I have a copy of some of the shipping list, not to hand right now. Have you seen it, or do you have it? Ages should be on that. One of my Thorburn ancestor's siblings married a Donald Nicolson I THINK , connected to the McCrimmons.Are you in Australia as I am?
