Aberdeenshire / Re: MARSHALL, SHEWAN, ADIE
« on: Thursday 04 January 18 05:16 GMT (UK)  »
My GG grand father and mother was John Marshall (1843-1908) and Ann Bonner (1842-1910). I have traced back to Alexander Marshall and Margaret Shewan (John M 1808-1882 parents). Would certainly be interested in contacting you if you can still see this chat.

Hi all,

Hoping someone may be able to help.  I am looking for information on my Family.

My GGfather is Thomas Reid. I have a birth cert. that has born 19 Feb 1854 Abbey, Lanakshire, Scotland.  I have found somewhere else this maybe Abbey, Paisley, Renfrewshire.

His parents were Thomas and Annie Reid

He married 23 March 1889 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia to Sarah Helen Hine born 1869 in Queensland.

Hope someone may be related or can assist.

Regards,

Some updated information, with thanks to a Rootschat member in the Chat room.

Hugh's parents are Hugh (or sometimes seen as Ewin) Livingstone and Catherine McDiarmid (Hugh's middle name). Other details of parents unknown. Hugh had a brother Angus born 22/12/1844 (yet to be confirmed but more than likely possible.

Hugh come to Australia on the ship Loch Ryan (not Loch Barry) and arrived in Melbourne.

Hugh died: 18 May 1937, Kingaroy, Queensland Rego:  1937/002029
Father:  Hugh
Mother: Catherine McDIARMID

I am still trying to link them to Dr David Livingstone.   Getting closer but.

Thanks, in advance. for anyones help.

I now have further information for that may help.  I am told by a relative that Hugh McDermott Livingstone (not the spelling as I have also McDiarmid) was born 14 Nov 1854 and arrived in Melborne 1879 on the Lock Bary.  :)

My research has not found anything on Lock Bary as I hoped  ???

Anyway I am still digging.

Hi Trish,

From information given to me, the birth certificate of David Livingstone had his father as Hugh McDiamid Livingstone, a storekeeper aged 36.

On checking again it could have been his marriage certificate that said born Argyleshire, Scotland.

I will check further.

Hi all,

All I have is family knowledge about Hugh bering born in Argylshire.  I do not know any of his parents. The first I have on him is that he was 36 when David was born in 1894.  I now he was always Hugh when in Australia but also think there has to a a connection somehow with McDiarmid family as suggested EDO.

Something about his family.  Information from NSW Birth Deaths & Marriages:

Yr Born     Name              District
1884        Janet               MacLean
1886        Alexander H     MacLean
1891        Angus              Lismore
1894        David Charles  Murwillumbah 
1896        Annie               Murwillumbah   

I am searching for his imigration record (Scotland to Australia) (Pre birth of Janet 1884 and birth records (abt 1858) in the hope that it will reveal something about his parents and siblings.

EDO,  What is the possibility that Ewen LIVINGSTON b c1815, who married Catherine McDIARMID had a daughter that was Hugh's mother and therefore got the name McDiarmid?

Just love family history hunting.

Thanks to the members for there interest.

Argyllshire / Livingstone to Australia (Hugh McDiarmid Livingstone)
« on: Saturday 09 June 07 05:36 BST (UK)  »
Hugh McDiarmid Livingstone was born abt 1858 in Argyllshire, Scotland.  I am researching any ancestry of Hugh and the connection to Dr David Livingstone (the famous missionary).  Hugh at sometime moved to Australia, married Mary Ann Jane Sanderson (born Maitland, New South Wales, Australia) on the 26 July 1883.  Hugh was the first to establish a store at Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia in1894 on a small hill on the corner of Jubilee and Azalea avenues near the dairy. He built a farmhouse on Ivy Hill on a small hill on the corner of Jubilee and Azalea avenues near the dairy.

He had three sons and two daughters, Janet b 1884, Alexander Hugh b 1886, Angus b 1891, Annie b 1896, David Charles b 1894 all in New South Wales.

David Charles married Laura Marshall and died in Kingaroy, Queensland 1966.

Hoping this can be of assistance to someone and they can to me.
