Wondering if anyone has done any research on the Burling family living in the Wollongong NSW area in the 1800's. Issac's wife was Elizabeth Maria BROWN & they married in 1880.
Any help would be great

Gov. Bourke arrived in NSW in December 1831. I presume he had soldiers to look after him on the way out here. Does anyone know what regiment they were? I can't find any information on passengers who came with him on the "Margaret".

My grandfather William ANDESRON from Denny born 1883 was a foreman patternmaker with Steins brickworks at Allandale. Does anyone know if and how I would trace any paperwork on apprentices in the late 1800's???

I am trying to find where I look for an item I found in the following web site:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.htm
I contacted national archives but would need to sell our house to pay for it.
Does anyone have access to these items below???

I have the marriage & death cert. for husband & wife William SPEIRS & Jane WATSON who married 29 April 1870 at 25 Gauze Street Paisley. William died 24 June 1884 at Thorn Johnstone & Jane died 8 Nov 1911 at The Cottage ? Hosp. Johnstone. William's father was John SPEIRS & mother Jane FILLANS. Jane's father was William WATSON & mother Helen BUCHANAN. From the death cert. William should be born abt 1844 Johnstone & Jane abt 1848 at Thorn.Knowing an approx. year of birth of both William & Jane, I have searched Scotlands People for William in all parishes from a rediculous 1792 till 1854 & Jane from 1842 till 1854 with no result. Any idea's why they do not come up in any parishes at all.  Not sure what the Thorn is. ( a street, road or an area) I tried on google earth but nothing with Thorn came up.
