Archibald Fulle/arto 1830s-1840s Scotlandl
« on: Monday 09 November 09 01:33 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone have any information about the above.
It is believed he was born in Cupar, Fife about 1831 to Archibald Fulle/arton and Mary Campbell, and he sailed on the Acheron (a survey ship) around New Zealand 1848-1853 then returned to England to become a soldier, before returning to Port Chalmers, Otago, New Zealand in the late 1850s to settle.
He married a Jane/Jean Paton from Anbroath, Scotland in Port Chalmers about 1868, a year after she migrated to Otago, and they had several children, including my gdfthr Andrew Paton Fulle/arton born in 1871.
Jean Fulle/arton died about 1902 and Archibald - who lived in Rodney Cottage and was somewhat of identity in Port Chalmers (near Dunedin) - died in 1913.
I would really appreciate any information about Archibald Fulle/arton's early life and family of origin and can share information on his descendents in NZ.

i Can't find a birth at all on SP and on A* the only one that fits on the 1841 census is:

Renfrewshire
Mary Fullerton   30
James 15
Archibald   10  born renfrewshire
William   2

do the other sibling names mean anything to you.

Thank you for this census info.
The Archibald you have found may be our man - or maybe not?.
He did go on to have a son called William and one called Archibald and a daughter Mary, though no James.
I will look at the NZ records to see if any of the others from Renfrewshire may have come over here.
It is quite possible that the info re Archibald's place of birth we had may not have been accurate - people, especially when halfway around the world from their origins - often invent their own life stories with noone to check!
Also Archibald always seemed to me to be rather young to have sailed on the Acheron and I  wonder whether he was in fact a couple of years (or more) older -  maybe born in the late 1820s?  - but have absolutely no information to confirm this.
His habit of spelling his name two different ways - though usually Fullerton - does not help either!
Thank you very much and I will do some more checking.
What is A*?

Hi , A* = Ancestry

I did find a death that would fit in with this census family (Archibald snr)

Archibald Fullerton d.9/11/1836  Glasgow age 56
Disease of the head

this would explain absence on the 1841c.

Thank you for all your trouble.
Though that Archibald is really old - 25 years older than that Mary - and his death in 1836 leaves young William (born 1839) unexplained.
However I can tell you that noone from the family seems to have come to NZ except Archibald.
I am currently attempting to search for him on Scotlands People.
However so far I have lots of trouble even getting started, so not sure how this will go.
Frankly I never thought it would be so hard to find Scottish records.
I really think my only chance now is that someone else who is researching this family sees my messages.
Diddy, you seem to reply to my messages.
Are you researching the Fullertons too?
You seem to post a lot of things.
I have just realised I am supposed to sign the messages - I have never put anything on a chat thing before so have no idea what I'm doing.

hi Jan - you don't have to put your name on , its just easier if lots of people are replying! I don't use any other chat rooms either but this ones great fun!!

Me - I post a lot because I've got the information bug! (former info. librarian). I've no connection to the Fullertons but a lot of my families came from Fife (& the NE of England).

I hate to see people not get any sort of reply - I would rather say if i've looked somewhere & save someone else looking again.

SP is not difficult but I do think you get the hang of a site after a bit - SP, you sometimes have to try putting in different combinations of info, not neccessarily everything you know at once.

Maybe a post on the Renfrewshire board would help to eliminate info even if it turns out not to be your family??

Hi Diddy,
I will have another go at SP and the Renfrewshire board.
Maybe not for a while though as my husband is in hospital and it's pretty chaotic here right now.
I'm a former librarian too - it is an occupation where you do need to be part bloodhound!
Thanks again for all your help with the elusive Archibald.
Miller is one of my surnames too, though my Millers came from the Wash in Lincolnshire where they ran a pub - much too far south to be relations of yours, I presume?
Cheers, Jan
