My next Brick Wall [COMPLETED]

[andycand]

In Victoria -
Will.... 1 Apr 1874 death of Charles Forrester, licensed Victualler
Executors Thomas B Guest, Wm H Cutts, Margaret Forrester, widow.
Argus 2 Apr 1874 at his residence, The Metropole Hotel, Charles Forrester, 61yrs.

Death reg:

FORRESTER Charles (born STIR) d. age 61yrs 1874 #5717
Father: John
Mother: Janet MAIN

The closest birth I can find is Charles FORRESTER christened 04 JUN 1809   Kincardine By Doune, Perthshire, Scotland  father John FORRESTER, mother Janet BAIN  This is sourced from Familysearch IGI extracted from the parish Register. Kincardine By Doune is on the border with Stirlingshire

This Charles could well be related to the Charles FORRESTER who emigrated on the Loch Lomond whose father is probably Robert FORRESTER.

My last reply got timed out   

I would think this Charles Forrester Snr. might be related too Andy, our Charles Forrester Jnr.'s uncle perhaps. It is interesting that he is Licensed Victualler, another coincidence.  And perhap out Forrester family stopped in Melbourne in their way to Hobart, Tasmania to either pay their respects or finalise family business ........ 15 years later hmmmm!!!!!  Who knows!!!

This has been a very entertaining and rewarding weekend, thanks everyone!!!!

l am to doing "Forrester" family tree from tasmania, my link starts with Charles Mercy who married Mabel Mildred Nichols in 1901, they have at least 7 children.

l wld like 2 find a reliable govt site that has data 4 the BDM 4 Tasmania

[Dundee]

BDM indexes for Tasmania are not online for events from 1900 onwards, you need to look at the indexes available on CD.  They should be in your local library if you are in Australia or you can ask on the Australia board as many have their own resources. (Births go to 1919, Marriages and Deaths to 1930.)

Events prior to 1900 are indexed with digitial images on the Tas Archives website:
