Hi marmic,
   Welcome to rootschat  :) :)

   When and where did Alan die?  Did his name become Macquarie?  There just may be some small clues to be found in Alan's life/death.

   It seems so sad that the brothers probably didn't meet up again ...  but I guess Victoria, N.Z. and W.A were a long way away especially in those days.

regards,
   Ros

Hello marmic,

Thank you for your message.

My original contact via Ancestry Public Member Trees is a descendant of the McQUARRIE family and would like to contact you.   I have his name/email address etc. and will send you these details through a PERSONAL MESSAGE.   However, it is necessary that you have at least 3 postings to RootsChat before the facility becomes available and I suggest you send 2 more messages just saying "Hello", for instance, which will give you the magic 3 total.   I will then send the details.

Good luck,

BAC3

Hi - sorry for bumping this, but I'm another relation of Allan - (he was my 4th great uncle) - from what I can see, he died sometime in 1884 in Albany WA.

Good Morning JOTG_18,

My interest in the McQUARRIE family essentially lies with Andrew and Colin, who had been inmates of Parkhurst Prison between 1838-1864, a period I am researching for a PhD, so Allan McQUARRIE was outside my remit so speak.   I assume he was named after his father Allan (mother Johan STEWART).

Sadly, my enquiries about Andrew and Colin have not produced any details about their lives "down under" and I would be delighted if you have any information whatsoever.   By the same token if I can help in any way about Allan and his "emigration" via the "Adelaide" to WA do please let me know.

For the moment,

BAC3
