Hi Robyn

I am from Brisbane, Oz, originally from Newcastle NSW. My 3 times great
Grandfather (John Murdoch) was from Bowmore, Islay who came to Australia in
1838 aboard "Merlin" and settled in the Taralga area. His Grandfather Rev
John Murdoch settled in Bowmore & Kilmeny, I believe there family came from
Perth Scotland.

If you would like any more details, let me know.

Hi Listers
I am fairly new to this list and being an Aussie I would be interested in
knowing if many Islay-ites came to Australia.
My Husband's g grandmother Lily Clark MACDONALD and her sister Julia arrived
in Van Dieman's Land, now Tasmania, aboard "The Antipodes" in 1861.

Any Aussies out there on this list?

Happy Hunting
Regards
