>I am looking for any information on Hugh Cameron who left Loch Rannoch,
>Scotland in 1834.
>
>The following information has come from an obituary dated 3 February 1915.
>
>He arrived in Otago, New Zealand and took up "waggoning of goods between
>Invercargill and Switzers". He had a hotel and he was also Mayor (of
>Mataura I'm assuming) twice. He died in February 1915 aged 80.
>
>His wife was the daughter of Duncain Bain of Blueskin and they married in
>1869. When he died he left four daughters and fives sons. The sons were:-
>
>George Cameron (Mataura)
>Archibald Cameron (Mataura)
>Sergeant E J Cameron
>Lance-Corporal J A M Cameron (Southland Mounted Rifles)
>Trooper E D Cameron (12th Regiment, Otago)
>(the last three were serving in Egypt at the time of his death)
>
>The daughters were named under their married names so I have no idea what
>their first names would have been.
>
>P Amos (Matuara) - This lady is my great grandmother - her name was
>Catherine (Kate) and she married Peter Amos who also came from Scotland.
>O Hubener (Invercargill)
>W H P Fleming (Gore)

>
>At the time of his death he also had a surviving brother - Arch Cameron of
