William Grant Buchan

[lakeview]

He was born in Morayshire, Scotland around 1887, son of James Buchan and Elsie Grant.  He died in Brisbane on 15Aug1951.  I am trying to fill in the other details of his life, such as date of emigration, spouse and children, and anything else available.

I have no idea where to start with Australia genealogy resources.  Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi, do you have access to Ancestry?  There is a tree with details and a photo of William.

Hi,

W Buchan, 25, born at Elgin was an Assistant Cook on board the "Mamari" that arrived in Sydney on 9th June 1912 from London.

The 1921 Electoral Roll has William Buchan as a Cook residing at Rainworth Estate Rosalie Brisbane.  Also residing at the same address was Marion Bryson Buchan.
