My interest is Alexander Bain who married Catherine Matheson.

Their daughter Margaret Hannah Bain is my connection. Looking for other descendants

Hello

At the risk of stating the obvious.  What information do you have to date regarding the names mentioned? FYI, if you go to www.familysearch.org and enter both parents names you come up with a variety of children spanning some time for those names - I believe 10+ entries.

There is a Margaret Hannah Bains - note the 's' born to Alexander Bains and Catherine Mathieson  (note spelling of parents names).  b 1838 in Highfield Ross and Cromarty and died 29 Dec 1915. 

The more info you can give, the more interest it'll generate.

Good luck   :O)

Hello
Thanks for input.

I am aware of the names of all the people with parents of the same name but have been unable to confirm if all from the same family.

I have Margaret Hannah Bains marriage certificate in Australia giving her to be born 1838/1839 and that is my connection.

Her siblings I cannot confirm if they are the ones on the IGI. Hence Im looking for descendants of the family to help confirm.

I have an Alexander Bain witness at Margarets wedding in Australia which may have been her father

I am looking for Alexander Bain (1866-1894) who went to Australia  and died there, unmarried (we think)
He was born in Kishorn, and parent were Donald Bain and Elizabeth MacKenzie
