Does anyone have any information about Elizabeth Whigham Robertson born Caputh 1843, daughter of Donald and Margaret Robertson, brother Richard Beaumont 1837  left for New Zealand,  donald 1846, Alexander O. 1840, Peter 1852, Margaret 1835, Susan 1849 (probably married a Dow) . they lived at Craig of Stenton originally.

This may just be a coincidence as you mention Caputh, Dow and Robertson all in one post.

I know of two children of a James Dow and Jean Robertson who lived at Newtyle Farm, Caputh that emigrated to New Zealand in the early 1860s.  Cecilia Dow was born in 1838 and married David Hay just before they left.  Cecilia's sister, Jean/Jane also came to New Zealand and then married James Payne.  I don't know which ship they arrived on or whether they travelled together.   Could they be connected to your family?

Would there be any Stevensons? I am looking for George born 1793 and William born 1805. The parents were Alexander and Helen and died sometime before 1858.

Hi JanetRu, only one Stevenson, believe it or not. Janet Caldwell Stevenson born 1857 died 1941. Cheers Evelina

Hi Evelina,

Could you please look at McLennans (and variants)? I know my wife's gg grandparents Alex McLennan and his wife Christina McDonald have a gravestone there. They died 1911/12. But on my "A&C McLennan" forum it's suggested that bus-operator "Sandy" McLennan, who died 1972, has family gravestone(s) at Caputh. It would be very helpful to know about McLennan MIs at Caputh.
