Inverness / Archibald McKay
« on: Tuesday 12 July 11 02:17 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on Archibald McKay.  Born Abt 1835 Inverness Scotland.  Father Duncan McKay mother  Ann McDonald.

Archibald married Margaret Elliott in 1864 in Glasgow Scotland (I have marriage cert).  His parents were deceased at the time of his marriage according to the Wedding Cert.

Archibald and Margaret immigrated to Australia between 1864 and 1868...as their children were born in Sydney Australia..the first record starting in 1868 with their son Robert McKay.

Archibald was a Mason and was "Insolvent" twice in Australia due to ill health.  On the Insolvency papers there is mention of borrowing monies from family, but I do not know if they were also in Australia or in Scotland.

I have no Scotish history on Archibald nor can I find any records on what ship they  immigrated to Australia on.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Lynette

Australia / Mary Sellars
« on: Friday 01 August 08 04:08 BST (UK)  »
Looking for info on Mary Sellars is supposed to been born in Rhine Germany 1851. Have all her Australian history but cannot find out how she arrived in Australia or wether she came directly from Germany, England or other country.
One source says she might have been born at sea but I do not have details of this rumour.  Marriage certificates etc have parents unknown.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
