It seems the only one missing is Christian / Christina / Christiana who married William F Preshaw (see first posting of Heaross).

Perhaps she died pre-sailing, on voyage or otherwise was buried under her maiden name in Victoria - some Scottish people did - has anyone looked for the death of Christian (etc) Lyall in Victoria?

William Fisher's death cert in 1866 would be helpful here.  Hopefully the full names of his children are named as issue.

Wm Fisher PRESHAW's file on PROV  has not been digitised.  Isabella's and Robt H's have been digitised.  I have downloaded them and the site is still experiencing problems in that it is very very slow.  Email from PROV this am advises to 'try again later'.  They are currently addressing the problems.

My goodness you've all been busy, you'rre all brilliant, I have to go out this morning, when I come home i'll sift all this through  and try and match everybody up, as i'm in Scotland  I don,t get access to a lot of the records as I have to pay for them. If I can do any researching for any of you do't hesitate to ask. Christian is proving a bit of a puzzle isn't she. Thanks again for all your help.

With the risk of my message being removed from this forum again, can I just say that George Olgilvy Preshaw published a book called "Banking under difficulties, or Life on the goldfields of Victoria, New South Wales and New Zealand" in 1888.
 
If you can obtain a copy of it, the small portion of it which I quoted (a few paragraphs) from a total of 179 pages, will be very interesting.

I managed to bring the book up but as i'm still trying to sort out all the information everybody has given me i'll have a proper read at it later. Regards Pat.
