I'm searching in Greenock and surrounding area for a possible birth of Andrew Millar, born approximately 1827 in Greenock, Scotland.  He completed his daughter's birth registration in late 1869 and signed in his own hand, listing his age as 43 and birthplace as Greenoch, Scotland.
Andrew married Jane Sarah Percival of London (d/o William Percival & Jane Jewell) on 8 Jan 1853 at St Peters Church of England in Eastern Hill (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia.  They had the following children: Andrew 1856-1891, William Percival 1860-1941, Sarah Jane 1863-1903, George Adam 1864-1935, Edward Alfred 1866-1919, Albert Ernest 1867-1946, Emma Ann 1869-1947, Minnie Frances 1872-1962, Hugh 1873-? and John Henry 1876-1879.
We have been unable to find the arrival of Andrew into Australia, but know it was before January 1853.  If anyone is able to locate an Andrew Millar leaving Greenock for Australia before 1853 or had an Andrew among the siblings of their ancestor who immigrated that may help.
Andrew's occupation has been listed on various records in Australia as Miner, Carpenter and Labourer.  We know he worked mainly as a Goldminer in Ararat.  Like many before him, he may have been a ships carpenter who jumped ship in Australia during the gold rush.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  More inforation on Andrew can be found on my Website.
Please DO NOT move this post to the Australian board as this is where I want it placed.
Thank you,
Diane

Elisha Fruen s/o David Fruen and Maria Davis and twin to Elijah. Previously missing and last recorded as a witness to his brother Elijah's marriage on 22 Jan 1851.

If anyone can shed any light on what happened to Elisha after he arrived in South Australia it would be much appreciated.

I am trying to find the correct birth/baptism information for John Conduit.  According to the census and his death records, he was born about 1812 in Fisherton, Salisbury.  His baptism has not been found among the Church of England baptisms in Salisbury or any of it's 9 surounding parishes, including Fisherton Anger. 
He married Emma Fruen (c1812-1874) on 8/11/1834 at St Clements, Fisherton, Salisbury.  I have a copy of the marriage record and John's death record.
John died 17/10/1863 and his death was registered in the Amesbury District, aged 51yrs.  He was buried on 21/10/1863 in Woodford.  His occupation was a Miller, Baker then Master Baker and Grocer.  Perhaps that was also the occupation of his father, as some of this sons followed the trade.
Many researchers have his parents as William Cundick/Conduit and Ann Spicer.  This is not the correct parents, as their John b. 1809, was not born in Fisherton and also died in 1810.  Others have William Conduit and Sarah Clark.  I don't believe this is correct also, because their John was born in 1806 and once again not in Fisherton.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and knowing the exact information on any documents found or how to get a copy of them may lead us a little closer to finding his parents.
Thank you.

I am searching for any record of John Drews/Druce or Martha Hardiman/Hardyman.  They married in Winsham, Somerset on 24/12/1820.  It is believed that they follow John's siblings Elizabeth Diment nee Drews/Druce, Isaac and Mary and mother Rebecca Drews/Druce nee Rawlings to St Peter Port in Guernsey.  It is unknown if his father also John Drews/Druce was still alive and went to Guernsey.
Any information to place John (also known as Jean) and Martha in the Channel Islands would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
