Thanks again Monica,
That was my first thought too that Archibald Cook may have come from the mcLauchlans but then I began to think perhaps it was Sutherland after William & Christina's 1st boy died William Sutherland & naming their last son William Archibald Cook.
William McLauchlan (Christina's husband) was born 3rd June 1836 in Pomarium West Church Parish, Perth, fourth child of John McLauchlan(born 1801, Dunkeld, Perth) ploughman & Margery Mills/Milne born Cargill ,his spouse. He was baptised six day later by Rev. Dr. William Aird Thomson, minister of Middle Church Parish, Perth. He had a brother John born 1828 two sisters Ann b. 1825 & Mey b. 1831. In 1839 James was born.
1831 family lived at Hillyland NE Perth. 1836 lived Friarton or Moncrieffe Island in the River Tay. In 1851 in Evelick, Parish of Kilspendie, Perthshire listed:
John McLauchlan (snr) Head widower 48yrs. Farm Labourer
May daughter 18yrs
James son 12yrs scholar.
William came to New Zealand on the Cornubia 1855 Lyttelton with his father, sister Ann, husband & 3 children, & James. John had come out around 1851. Mey arrived later with her husband, 2children in 1857 "Glentanner".
RE: Christina & Williams marriage cert. they were both full age, no parents mentioned. Witness James Sutherland, Farmer, Selwyn. when & where married 4 june 1868 House of Mr Sutherland South Town Belt. Death cert had parents names.
Thanks,
