Hello Iain,
I can't help you with any of your ships, sorry. However,
there is a Queensland list where you might find someone who can help.
Also, I think (hope?) that it is a local family history society in Mackay
which has a rather good web site which might lead you to some answers.
Good luck,
Lyndall

Hello Everyone:
I have been off this List as I had nothing new to offer but now I have.
Alexander McKenzie was born about 1802 in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.
He married Mary Arbuckle in St Cuthberts, Edinburgh on Oct. 3, 1825 and
he was listed as a Joiner (gather like a carpenter).
I believe they returned to live in Stornoway and had 3 sons.
William McKenzie about 1827/28
Murdoch McKenzie about 1833/34
Alexander (Jr) McKenzie about 1835/36
I think Mary died between 1840-1850 and I have checked the FHC film

Hello,
I'm unsubscribing for the academic year but would
still love to hear from anyone with connections with
Hamilton THOMSON and Ann CARR from
various places around Ross & Cromarty
and James THOMSON b.1825/6, possibly
their son, a joiner who emigrated to Canada c1840.
All the best,
Janet Packer (nee Thomosn)
Theresa, I have (well, at home in New Zealand anyway) copies of all witness
statements from criminal trials resulting from the 1792 "Year of the Sheep"
disturbance which the wedding of my Strathrusdale-resident forebears John
ROSS alias Davidson and Helen MUNRO alias McAdie helped to spur. Many
Strathrusdale and Ardross people were mentioned, but I'm afraid none were
SUTHERLANDs to the best of my recollection.
There are also militia lists of men aged 16-60 from the late 1700s which I
think are in the Seafor

Hi Martin, I would guess that your ancestor was a seaman in the Merchant

Many Thanks for adding to my info. On Alexander's marriage in 1825 he was
listed as a Joiner, on the 1851 C. he was a Builder and the 1881 C. says he
is
a Builder & Architect. We seem to mainly use Builder & Carpenter now
although I have seen Woodworker also. Take Care

ancestor Catherine McLeay of Applecross who married John Gollan. We have
established that a Catherine McLeay married a Donald Gollan and they lived
at Lonbain north of Applecross and can be found in the 1851,1861, 1871, 1881
& 1891 census and that she is the sister of ancestor of Iain McLennan and
myself. However we believe now that she had a sister of the same name who

Hi there,
Having a few ancestors who were 'squarewrights' - just remember that
farther back, your ancestors could be described in this way too (skilled
wood-worker).
