Hi, I am a new member as of today. I live in Australia in the far north of tropical Queensland, an area of big rains and cyclones, otherwise it is paradise.
I am searching for Angus Beaton. The 1851 Scotland census shows an estimated birth for Angus of 1796 and living in Parish of Kilninian and Kilmore, County Argyll and address Dervaig. Angus married Mary Beaton, date unknown. The birth place on the census for Angus is shown as Morvern, Argyllshire. The 1851 census indicates that children of Angus and Mary were Christy, Donald, Mary jnr and Mazy. The family emigrated to Australia from Liverpool on 28 August 1852 and arrived in Queensland in Dec 1852. Mary Beaton's parents were Donald Beaton and Rachel Paterson.
Does anyone have any idea where I might find his birth and marriage.
Regards
Berlor

Hi
There is this: IGI Extracted marriage:
Angus BEATON and Mary BEATON - 9 Oct 1827 Glasgow, Lanarkshire
For Ref:
1851: Dervaig - Kilninian and Kilmore, Argyllshire
Angus BEATON 55, b Morvern, Argyllshire , Boat Builder
Wife: Mary BEATON 45, b Kilmore Argyllshire
CHILDREN:
Donald BEATON 16, b Morvern, Argyllshire
Christy BEATON 10, b Isle of Skye, Inverness Shire
Mary BEATON 8, b Isle of Skye, Inverness Shire
Mazy?? BEATON 2, Ardnamurchan, Argyllshire
I'm a bit dubious of the name "Mazy". Scotland's people appear to index her as "Mary", as far as I can work out on a restricted search. If so, then I might wonder if she is actually a grandaughter - perhaps illigitimate - since they already have an 8 yr old daughter named Mary. Did "Mazy" go to Australia with them?
The 1841 shows another, elder, daughter:
1841:Island of Scalpa(y), Strath, Inverness-shire
Angus BEATON 40, Carpenter - N
Mary BEATON 30, - N
Marion BEATON 12 - N
Donald BEATON 6 - N
Christina BEATON 6mths - Y
Cheers

Hi Ambly
There is quite a trail of names with Angus & Mary and I have listed below names as they appear in documents.
The passenger list for the family leaving Liverpool on 28 Aug 1852 aboard the MARMION bound for Moreton Bay Queensland.
Angus & Mary
Donald Beaton
Christy Beaton
Mizee Beaton
Neil Beaton
Sally Beaton
An Alexander Beaton left Liverpool on 16 June 1855 aboard the SWITZERLAND bound for Adelaide South Australia.
The arrival record of the Beatons on the MARMION was in December 1852, which came from the Victorian Public Records Office. Not sure why this record is in Victorian records as Moreton Bay is in Queensland, maybe that was head office at the time. Listed as arriving in Australia are
Angus & Mary
Maria Beaton - 22 years
Donald Beaton - 17 years
Christie Beaton - 11 years
Mary Beaton - 9 years
Neil Beaton - 6 years
Margery Beaton - 4 years
Mary Beaton died on 1 September 1895 at Hanilton Victoria and listed on her death registration as issue are
Marion - 66 years
John - deceased
Alexander - deceased
Donald - 59 years
Mary - deceased
Christina - 54 years
Mary - 52 years
Neil - 49 years
Marjory - 47 years
As each document was completed through time more names seemed to come to light.
The birth of Angus Beaton and his parents has me at a dead end. Any help you may be able to give about Angus would be much appreciated.
Regards
Berlor

Hi Berlor
Not sure if you have the son missing of the 1851 Census with the rest of the family:
1851: Dervaig, Kilninian and Kilmore , Argyllshire
Head: Donald BEATON 65, Crofter (1 1/4 Acres) , b Morvern, Argyllshire
Sister: Christina BEATON 70, b Morvern, Argyllshire
Nephew: Niel BEATON 5, b Ardnamurchan, Argyllshire
Perhaps you already have this and know which side Neil's BEATON parents these siblings Donald and Christina belong to?
