Hi, LL
Thanks again for the info. Regarding Isabella Carson, on her marriage in 1876 it said her father was a grocer and that her mother Mary Campbell was dead. On her death in 1889 She was living in Perth and it said her father was a Tea merchant and her mother Marion Crawford was also dead and that it was reg; by a John Mc Dowall a brother in law.So perhaps James did marry a few times. Could you look for the death of Robert Gemmell married to Catherine Niven, He was a Fisherman and i think he died between 1871 and 1880. The marriage of Janet Scullion around 1872, parents James Scullion and Margaret Brown. the marriage of James Sheridan and Ann Connelly, they had a son James Sheridan About 1882.
Regards
Scully
