Hi everyone

Any assistance in the following would be appreciated: 
I am looking for information about ANNE STEWART ROBERTSON born 6 March 1827 Blairgowrie Perthshire.  Her residence at birth was Milltown of Drumlochie.  Her father was a labourer working on a farm at Milltown at the time.  Her parents were DONALD (DANIEL) ROBERTSON born 1786 Blair Atholl Perthshire and REBECCA BUTTARS born 1788 Blairgowrie Perthshire Kirkmichael. Rebecca or also listed as Rebekah died in 1835 in Blairgowie Perthshire and this may have prompted Donald to emigrate with the family.  Donald was listed as a stonemason on ships records to Australia. The family emigrated to Australia in 1838 when Anne was 11. Anne married in Australia a JAMES MCDONALD who was born in 1825 in Edinburgh but who emigrated to Australia himself in 1849 but lived in Dumfrieshire in 1849 before emigrating. ANNE may have gone under ANNE STEWART or ANNE ROBERTSON. On the ship to Australia the surname was listed ROBINSON and ROBERTSON?  The family who emigrated were of 10 sons and 3 daughters.
I am travelling to Scotland in 3 weeks time and would like to find graves, family connections, anything really.  One son's middle name was McLeod Robertson so there may be a connection to the McLeods.
Any help would be appreciated. I may be lucky and find relies..would love to think so.
Cheers

Hi Karenlee

John and Sophia had 5 children one of whom a son EDWARD GEORGE GANE born 1861 in NSW Australia went on to marry twice.  His marriage to ANNIE MAY MOSS who was born in 1874 in Goulburn NSW Australia produced 6 children.  One of those children JOHN THOMAS GANE born in 1894 at Montalbion in Nth Queensland Australia married GRACE ELISE TURNER-PARRY (nee TURNER-JONES).  Their daughter GRACE MARY GANE married COLIN BELL who is the father of my husband CHRIS BELL.

I have been researching my mother's father's family, George Henry Lambkin.

The line goes as follows: 
George Lambkin b aprx1811 married Caroline Havard b aprx1812, they had
George b aprx1839 in Horsmonden Eng married Emily Jenkins who had 7 children one another George Henry Lambkin b aprx1864 NSW
This George went on to marry Harriet Amelia King b aprx1867 NSW and they had another George Henry Lambkin b aprx 1884 in NSW.
Then this George went onto marry Ellen Florence Dawson.
They had Joyce Bery Lambkin who married my father Stanley Wallace Johnson.
And then came me.

So George b1811 who married Caroline Havard b1812 was my g-g-g grandfather. The attached photo is my gfather George.

Anyone out there who may be linked to my Lambkins or my Dawsons or has other information?  Please contact.
