"Blair Athole" Vessel
« on: Friday 06 April 07 10:07 BST (UK) »
I am trying to locate where William Butler born about 1851 and Emmeline Farmer born about 1856 came from and who their family's are. I know they arrived in Sydney Australia on board the "Blair Athole" on the 4th March 1879 they also had a child Athol that was born on board and registered at Wallsend New South Wales upon arrival. Can anyone help me with the where abouts that this ship saled from to give me some kind of an area to start looking for William and Emmelines families.

Thanking you all
Christine

The marriage of Emmeline Farmer and William Butler was registered in the September ¼ 1873 in Houghton-le-Spring County Durham.
