This is my first post to Rootschat so not sure if I am doing it right. I recently discovered a number of posts related to Forbes ANGUS of Tarves but cannot reply to the original post, perhaps because it was too long ago. I am interested to find out the outcome of that thread.
I am a descendant of
Forbes ANGUS and Elizabeth LAMB also Alexander FORBES and Charlotte CLARK and am seeking any information about births, marriages and deaths, immigration etc.
James ANGUS & Jane FORBES - Scotland, NZ, Australia

Thank you for the interesting information on the FORBES family. I haven't pursued this line of the family yet.
I am interested in more info on George Shepherd ANGUS, youngest son of James ANGUS & Jane FORBES and where the middle names of the family members came from. You also said you had certificates. Would it be possible to get copies from you please?
Forbes ANGUS marriage to Margaret INKSON 1867
James ANGUS Death 1916
Forbes ANGUS Death 1909
George Shepherd ANGUS Death

Pictures of ship and ship's list 'James Nicol Fleming' arrived in NZ 1870
Would it be possible to share these please or tell me where I can find them for myself?

Can you remember what your solution to the confusion about Isabella ANGUS was? I do not think the one in Victoria (married to John Russell in 1884) fits this family
There were two Isabella ANGUSs in this family. (This name combination is not that uncommon - there were at least 4 in NZ alone)
1. Isabella Bothwell Forbes ANGUS b 2 Jul 1861 Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire
married William STRINGFELLOW 18 Sep 1889 in Christchurch, New Zealand and died in 1940 in NZ.
2. Isabella ANGUS b 3 Mar 1885 Christchurch, NZ daughter of Forbes ANGUS (son of James ANGUS) and Amy Florence HURST.
With the exception of Isabella Bothwell Forbes ANGUS who stayed in NZ the rest of the ANGUS family went to Australia. The HURST family went from Tasmania to NZ and then Victoria. I am interested in knowing when they came to Australia (around 1886?) and whether they travelled as family groups or separately. Any help appreciated.
I am willing to share anything I have.
Thanks
