Sorry I haven't replied sooner.
Yes Alexander did take his 2 young children over to Scotland for the wedding. They are on the passenger list leaving Tasmania & I found them in the 1841 census the right ages staying at "Mansion House of Torbreck"(WWW.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl) but no Alexander on the list (may be he was out with Magdaline that night). I dont know what date the census was taken but they would have arrived in Scotland April some time I think.
Does anyone know anything about the House of Torbreck? As the marriage was in Kirkhill is this house near by. I have had a look but nothing concrete yet, will keep on looking.

Thank you Colin & Bev for your replies.
Sorry Colin I haven't any info as to where Alexander is from in Scotland.
Yes Alexander is a very common name that is what I found.
Alexander was 38yrs & Madgaline was 20yrs when married 18 yrs difference.
I wonder if he came from the area where the McTavish family lived & did he know the family before he left for Tasmania in the 1820's?
Someone might be able to put the 2 names together in the near future, I hope,
Will keep on looking & your suggestion to look at Scotlands People website, will do that.

I am trying to trace Alexander's parents & birth place in Scotland.
He arrived in Tasmania about 1824 & was aged 20 yrs, he died in Launceston Tasmania in 1870 aged 66yrs so his birth would have been about 1804. Alexander married Isabella Leonora Robley 27 April 1831 in Launceston & had 2 sons David & William, Isabella died in 1840.
Alexander travelled back to Scotland & married at Kirkhill, Madgiline McTavish daughter of Mr H McTavish of Dunballock 17 Nov 1842.
Looking forward to any help.
