Alexander & Rachel Mc Innes census lookup

[CaroleW]

If they only arrived in Australia in 1852 I would have expected them to be on the 1851 census - surely the journey from Scotland to Oz didn't take over a year by ship!!

Margaret may have married in Scotland and then emigrated with her husband later using her married name

Sorry that should be 1853 ( must get new glasses )
left Plymouth 21st September 1853, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 4th January 1854
Could be right about husband

I got this info from my Auntie according to her grandmother she wasn't mentioned again ( Maggie that is )

[shilo]

If she was to immigrate later wouldn't  she go to where her family was   
Duncan died in Binginwarri, Victoria, Australia on 3 February 1907 his daughter Isabella Annie was born 14 th July 1874 Wellington, SA, Australia
also Neil died in 1843 bugger

Hello,

 I see that you have a ? after Rachels name - it'd appear - according to the IGI that she was also a McInnes.  The IGI has it as 'extracted which means that the actual image will be available for download from the ppv site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

Hi

I've just checked the English 1851 just in case as they sailed from Plymouth - zilch I'm afraid!!

Hello Carole
thanks for trying
they  did leave from  Plymouth in 1853.
according to notes around that time (1850 's)  they would be in  Heast or on there way to   Edinburgh to save for fare and then to  Plymouth to wait for ship for how long looks like they have just  dissapeared for a few years 
also thanks Steve
Story has it that Rachel  Mc Innes ? may have been a  distant cousin from Harrapol
I went and had a look at www.scotlandspeopel.gov.uk but site seems to be down will try again later ,  I haven't used it before you have to pay to see anything is that right 
thanks again
Jackie

Hello all
 I'm sorry that the info I have given you may not be correct I have just found these shipping records at
http://www.scan.org.uk/_emigration/em_memberssearch.asp?Number=386 (hope it is OK to print that ) it states that they emigrated in 1862 the names match but birth years not correct out by 10 years on some.
The story of theire daughter Margaret being replaced by niece who's names is listed also  as Margaret checks out.
Also the port of departure is left campletown went to Liverpool before sailing to Australia on the HERCULES 
But
