Margaret, Robert, Ian & Listers.

Unfortunately the only information I have is:

William BYRES married Jean HAY .

They had the following children:

Ann BYRES was born on 18 Dec 1818 Peterhead,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland , christened on 25 Dec 1818 in
Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland She died on 14 Nov
1894 Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia.

Ann married James ROBERTSON son of William ROBERTSON
and Margaret MILNE on 16 Nov 1838 in Cruden,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland. James was born on 26 Dec 1812
in Orrae, Bethebre, Aberdeenshire, Scotland . He died
on 4 Apr 1887 in Willowdene, Westbury, Tasmania,
Australia.

John BYRES was christened on 23 Aug 1817 in
Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

James BYRES was christened on 12 Mar 1820 in
Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

I have no idea if John & James came to Tasmania or
Australia or if they stayed in Scotland.

My information follows from Ann Byres & James
Robertson in Tasmania, and I am lucky enough to have
photos of them both.
