Moscrip
« on: Saturday 07 March 09 09:46 GMT (UK) »
I found this Newspaper articles....

Should this meet the eye of Robert MOSCRIP, Carpenter, late of Glasgow, Scotland, and last heard of at Carcoar in 1885, or anyone knowing his whereabouts, will greatly oblige by sending his address to his brother, John MOSCRIP, Wellshot Station, Barcoo River, Queensland.

I beleive John Moscrip full name is John Henry Neill Moscript.

Would anyone know the family of John Moscrip

Thank you Ev

I have a connection with a Moscrip family but looks like it maybe a different branch.
I notice in the Aussie records John's sister Alison was in OZ also.

John was a saddler in OZ

May help other Moscrip researchers

Many thanks

My Robert Moscrip b. abt 1815 married Helen King. My King family are from the Greenock/Glasgow area.

Not sure if they had any more children

I know they had one son Robert b. about 1848 immigrated to Australia married and had 8 children.

Have all the Aussie info....

Re Moscrip (John Henry Niel Moscrip)
« Reply #7 on: Friday 04 June 10 07:35 BST (UK) »
John Henry Niel Moscrip  b.28 Sep 1861 Longformacus,  died  12 Nov 1945 Barcaldine, Queensland, Australia.
The inscription reads: “In loving memory of John Henry Neil Moscrip died 12 th Nov 1945 aged 83 years. And his beloved wife Ellen Mary Moscrip died 14 th Oct 1954 aged 90 years. Also their dear son John William Patrick Moscrip died 17 Jan 1956 aged 54 years.”
John Henry is my husbands great grandfather by John's daughter Mary Margaret Moscrip b 05 Apr 1899 at Isisford, Qld , Australia.

John Henry Moscrip arrived in Australia on the ship "Linlithgowshire", a barque weighing 1357 tons. It sailed from Glasgow 10th October 1883 and arrived in Brisbane on Tuesday 15th January 1884. It sailed under D.Scott, master; W. Middleton, S.Supt; and Matron Mrs Orton. John was 21yrs at the time, and sailed on his own as a Bounty Immigrant. (Ref. QSA IMM/126 p172 [Z1967]).   The "Linlithgowshire" was previously named "Jeanie Landles."

Taken from The Queenslander, Saturday, June 30, 1888:   MISSING FRIENDS:
"Should this meet the eye of Robert MOSCRIP, Carpenter, late of Glasgow, Scotland, and last heard of at Carcoar in 1885, or anyone knowing his whereabouts, will greatly oblige by sending his address to his brother, John MOSCRIP, Wellshot Station, Barcoo River, Queensland." 
John was trying to find his brother Robert as he was about to marry Ellen Mary Scanlan on 20 Sep 1895 at Barcaldine, Qld.

We do not know if he ever managed to find his brother Robert,  and we have been unable to do so. It was this newspaper item which first alerted us that Robert came to Australia as well.

John Henry was a saddler in western Queensland ( Wellshot Station, Isisford)

If anyone can help us find Robert Niel Moscrip, born Longformacus 10 May 1860, we would be pleased.
Also pleased to get any information on Alison Currie Moscrip b.11 Sept 1866 at Greenlaw, Berwickshire, Scotland. She married in Queensland, Australia ( 1888) to Benjamin Joseph Smith but we have no further details concerning them.
