Help please? I am hoping for a long shot! Perhaps a search in 1861, or 1871 Census for my grandmother, Mina MacDonald & her family.
Her d. cert. details are 19/3/ 1936, NSW Aust. age 81. parents William MacDonald & Annie. place of birth Inverness. Her b. therefore around 1855. Mina migrated to New Zealand before 1881 (details unknown) where she married my grandfather Roland Cole.
Having searched the igi there is no listing for a Mina (or Williamina / Wilhelmina which i assume was her full name) with parents William & Annie. The closest I can get is a Williamina b. 1856, Croy & Dalcoss, Inverness but parents are William & Catherine Rose. I dont think this is the family. I have found a marriage for a William MacDonald to an Ann Kennedy in 6/6/1852 Kilmonivaig, Inverness but cannot find any refernce to any children being born. I also found a m. for A William to an Ann MacCuish and all their children are listed but no Williamina!
If someone can do a quick check for me I would really appreciate it. thanks from Oz, Vicki
