Trying to find  a possible Victorian marriage of Mary Ann Johnson. She was born Mary Ann Williams in Devon, England around 1809, came to Tasmania as a convict, where she married James Johnson in Launceston 20 August 1838. They had 3 children, Eliza, Frederick and Sarah. James died in 1846 in Launceston, all of the children are buried in Victoria including Mary Ann. She is buried in Ballarat with her son Frederick, his wife and two of their children, but her name is Mary Ann Dutton, died 24 January 1882. I am trying to locate her husbands name and where they may have been married

Hi, I am trying to locate children and siblings for Alexander Robertson. I have obtained a marriage register for him the contents as follows.
Alexander Robertson age 41, married Catherine McLaurin age 23 , at Clifton St, Glasgow on 15th of January 1862. His usual place of residence is Logierait and Catherine's is Ardchattan.
Alexander's parents are Donald Robertson and Catharine Robertson ( it appears her maiden name was Robertson also ). The brides parents are Neil McLauren and Ann? Sinclair. I found Donald and Catherine in an 1871 census, ( going by the ages and living in Rannoch ), with a daughter Ann aged 34 who it appears had some form of mental disability, Lunatic is listed. An earlier census also lists a Duncan , born around 1833 . As far as I can tell I have the correct family but I am having problems locating other births. I have found other census returns but things don't line up. As far as I can tell Alexander and Catherine had 8 children, Catherine b. 1862,  Neil b. 1864, Donald b. 1866, Ann b. 1868, Susan b. 1870, Alexander b. 1872, Mary b. 1873 and James C born around 1879.
If some one can confirm if I am on the right track I would appreciate it, starting to do my head, there are so many Robertsons in the same area.

I am trying to find the family of my wife's grandmother, I have a copy of her death certificate which states her first names as Ailsa Janet Millar ( born Robertson ). She was born 3 July 1910, Delmas, Tvl. and died 5 August 1969, H.F. Verwoerd Hospital. She married Alfred Thomas Bettington in Pretoria, 4 October 1936. Father and mother are only listed as deceased. I don't know anything of possible siblings, I only hope someone with knowledge of the family might read this post and reply

I am trying to locate children of Joseph and Anne Berwick of Great Mongeham, I don't know Anne's maiden name. Joseph was baptised June 1754 at Great Mongeham, their son Joseph (junior) was born around 1783, he died in Van Diemans Land 1863 aged 80, from stories there may have been 5 or 6 children. I think I have found one of them, Charlotte, bap. 15 Oct 1793 but can,t locate others.
Any help greatly appreciated
