Hi there,the George Nelson you talk of born 1855? is actually my great great grandfather.He was born Glasgow,Scotland to Jacob and Frances Nelson.He emigrated to Australia aboard the Auriga bound for Melbourne.George saw a notice in the newspaper that had an Agnes Rowett in Brisbane looking for her brother.Agnes had just arrived in Australia.George had been friends with the family in Scotland,so when he saw the notice he contacted Agnes.They married in Melbourne then moved to Romsey/Rochford in Victoria,then later moving to NSW.George lost a son and a brother in the Mount Kembla mine explosion of 1902.We have been researching the Nelsons as Mary McKinlay Nelson is my g grandmother..They are a bit of an elusive bunch having immigrated from Ireland to Scotland.They are Ulster Scots...Cheers
