Hi emjaye,
I goggled Cowie Bank and the 3rd website was that of National Library of Australia.
There is info on The Tripcony family of Cowie Bank oysterfarmers in Pumicestone.
Are you aware of this info and is this your family you are looking for.
I tried to log down the webpage but could not.
If you Goggle Cowie Bank it will come up.
kind regards,Billy.

1851 she seems to be Catham Buchanna born c 1834 Canekay, stirlingsh
In the Household of Malcom Couchrdugh, 62, born Campsa, stirlingsh.

Which transcription is that?

FreeCEN has Malcolm Coubhrough, 67, born Campsie, Stirlingshire and Catherine Buchanan, 17, born Campsie, Stirlingshire.

FindMyPast has Coubbrough but the rest matches FreeCEN.

SP indexes her as Cathrine Buchanna, 17, and him as Malcom Coulbrough, 62.

So you really have to look at the original to see what it really says.

Thank you everyone, I really should have marked this query as concluded, I see my original question was from 10 years ago !!!

Catherine is my gg grandmother, and arrived in Australia in 1857. I now have plenty of information.
