Hi
thanks for that great info.......hmmm wonder why Thomas and Christina were not living together...or if it was for just the census night...
he did migrate to Australia sometime in the early 1850's leaving her in Dunbarton with the children....she came to Australia looking for him in 1858, never found him though..her parents travelled with her as well as her 2 brothers...but I believe they came back to Scotland as I cannot find records of them here in Aus....
seems strange they would come all that way then go straight back....
any further info you can find would be appreciated, such an interesting family ........
interestingly she had a shop here on the goldfields as well...
