Lanarkshire / James Marshall who sailed away 1857
« on: Friday 28 February 14 12:12 GMT (UK) »
My wife is attempting to research her family history. Her great grandfather was James Marshall. She believes he was a free settler to Van Diemen's Land and travelled here with brother William on the Forest Monarch, arriving in Launceston on 20th July 1857. James was 22 years old and William 19. Both were listed as gardeners.
The ship sailed from Glasgow, and carried nearly 300 Scots.
Where would she need to look to find records of James' family and birthplace?
