Hi, I am not sure how old this chat is but I stumbled onto it whilst trying to find my Grandmothers burial records.
I have the old family bible that belonged to John McNicol.
He wrote his birth at Glenorchy October 31 1834
His Wife Anne Leitch born September 29 1832 at Glenorchy.
He married Anne on 30th October 1854.
Children:
Christina - Born 22nd December 1855
Finley - Born 1 February 1857
Archibald - Born 29th May 1859
Agnes - Born 5th August 1861 / Died 2nd October 1862
Agnes - Born 28th July 1863
John - Born 25th October 1866 / Died 24th July 1889
Donald - Born 18th March 1868 (My Grandfather) / Died 18th June 1930
Christina- Born 17th April 1870
Hugh Duncan - Born 2nd May 1872
(He lived with my Grandmother, Father and Uncle Alfred on our family farm until he died on September 7th 1959).
The family of Donald and Margaret Jane (nee Newton) lived at Costerfield for a few years after Donald died. Their Children Were John, Alfred, Donald, Jesse and Maggie.
The boys cut timber (sleepers mostly) and quarried gravel for Vic Roads.
In 1946 (or thereabouts) my Father and his brother Alfred bought a dairy farm in Koyuga Victoria. My Grandmather moved with them. My Father (Donald) married my mother Joyce Govett in 1948 and I was firstborn 1949. I have a brother and a sister.
I hope this can help. I have uploaded photos of the family bible records onto the following website for your interest.
