Hello Listers
Does anyone have the above names in their family tree? Or access to any
resources which may help me? Any snippet of would be most welcome.
I found this information at

James Edgar born 6 April 1811 in Moffat, Dumfries, Scotland. About 1857
he went to Victoria, Australia, to join his brother David who had large
landed interests in the western district.... James Edgar sailed from
London, on 21 August 1857 on the Severn, arrived in Australia 2 December
1857. His second wife, Mary nee MOSSOP, and the 7 children of James' two
marriages, also May's two daughters, Elizabeth and Jane Mossop, came
with him. ... James worked as a shepherd for his brother, David, at Pine
Hills, then later took up land at Clear Lake, but became ill. David
brought him back to Pine Hills, where he died.
Mary Edgar died 21st May 1895 registered at Edenhope. Can anyone find
her burial please? It's not on Ian Marr's Cemeteries of SW Victoria
website.

My main interest is in Mary's daughter, Elizabeth MOSSOP who married
Richard LANNIN on 18 Feb 1864 at Harrow. Richard arrived from Ireland in
1854 & was a Farmer & they had the following children:- most of them
came to WA.
I. Mary Jane LANNIN, b. 1865 in Casterton
II. Walter Richard LANNIN, b. 1867 in Harrow
III. Janet Eliza Margaret LANNIN, b. c1868. She married Maurice
Whitlock HARRIS, married 1886 in Ballarat reg Casterton, b. 26 Mar 1863
in near Oakbank SA, (son of John HARRIS and Mary Ann WHITLOCK)
IV. Margaret LANNIN, b. c1872.
V. James LANNIN, b. c1875
VI. Susan "Susie" LANNIN, b. 6 Apr 1875
VII. George Thomas LANNIN, b. 1875 in SAND VIC
VIII. Ellen ("Nellie") Elizabeth LANNIN, b. 1876 in Casterton
IX. Ethelene "Ettie" Violet LANNIN, b. 1878 in Chetwynd
X. Catherine Lillian Blanche LANNIN, b. 1880 in Chetwynd
XI. Charles Edward Oliver LANNIN, b. 1883 in Chetwynd

I'm also interested in Susannah LANNIN who may have been Richard's sister.
Susanannah LANNIN, b. c1833. She married Robert McPHERSON, married 1854
in Vic, b. c1831, d. 18 Dec 1885 aged 54, buried in Edenhope Cemetery.

aged 27 , buried in Edenhope Cemetery.
IV. Marion Margaret McPHERSON, b. 1862 in Harrow, d. 11 Apr 1877 reg
Chetwynd aged 14, buried in Edenhope Cemetery,
V. Susanna McPHERSON, b. 1866 in Edenhope

VIII. William Lannin McPHERSON, b. 1876 in Edenhope, d. 28 Jan 1896
aged 19, buried in Edenhope Cemetery Victoria.

George LANNIN bc1840 arrived on the same ship as Richard but they had
different fathers & I don't know whether they were related. I have also
accumulated lots of information about George who married Jane KENT &
whose family pioneered Lillimur Merino Stud near Kaniva.

Many thanks
