Title: Geo Robertson to Aust from Scotland 1880s
Post by: Lynj on Friday 15 April 05 13:34 BST (UK)

Hi
Have been looking for George ROBERTSON age mid 50s who came to Australia with just his son, also George ROBERTSON age early 20s around the mid 1880s.

I have been unable to locate their arrival at all until they appear in Qld in 1886.
Has anyone by any chance come across them at all?

With thanks
Lyn

These are in Qld immigration records

ROBERTSON George 23 Windsor Castle 25 Jun 1881 IMM/116 485 M1698

Too Early?

Thanks Trish
I also found this pair, thought it could have been them only to find there were more of them in that family on Windsor Castle and it is a bit early by 4 years or so.
I am fairly certain there were only the 2 of them to arrive.
Thanks anyway.

Hi,
How have you gone with your George R.?   I'm trying to find a George R. also, and I'm starting to wonder if he was sent back to Scotland, re my post.    Any connection?
Regards Abygail
