Hi Jamison,

Yes, still here.  I have not got any further with Charlotte's family.  I still think George McIntosh and Margaret Stewart are the most likely to be her parents. 

Would be interested to know where in Australia Janet ended up and if she and Charlotte had any contact and also interested in anything else you can find on Charlotte.

Thanks for your message.

Neil

Hi Jamison,

Charlotte was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1835, courtesy of His Majesty's Government.  According to her convict record she was born in approximately 1814 and at the time of her conviction was living in North Gray's Close, Edinburgh.

In 1840, Charlotte married Alexander MacDonald in Westbury, Van Diemen's Land.  I believe that Charlotte and Alexander had the following children:

- Henry (born 1839)
- Charlotte (born 1841)
- David (born 1844)

In 1846 the family moved to Geelong, Victoria, Australia.  Another son (Alexander) was born there.

Charlotte died in 1852 and was buried in Eastern Cemetery, Geelong.

Whereabouts did Janet live in Australia?

Regards

Neil

Hi again,

Thanks for the response.  No, unfortunately the name du/de Tuloch doesn't mean anything to me.

It appears from your prior post that Janet died in Australia.  Interesting, as Charlotte also ended up in Australia.

I can't be certain who Charlotte's parents were, but at the moment George McIntosh and Margaret Stewart seem to be the best fit.

Hi,

I am wondering if you have found out any more information regarding George McIntosh and Margaret Stewart and their family?

I believe their daughter, Charlotte, may be my ancestor as the year and place of birth fit, according to the other information I have regarding Charlotte.

Regards.
