Thank you very much everyone for all that information. I have Betsy buried at Brighton cemetery 1928. It looks as though Jane`s mum Mary may not have gone to Australia after all as there appears to be no sign of her. Betsy and her mum Isabella Aberdein , who was a widow, went to Australia after the "Browns" as they are on the 1891 census for Montrose. When Isabella`s husband, George, died he left quite a lot of property and land in Montrose so I suppose it would have taken some time to sell everything up. I think Isabella, nee Maconachie, died 1910. I suspect that Betsy and Francis were sweethearts in Montrose. At least I like to think so.

Thanks again

Have just seen that some time ago you were looking for the daughters  of Alexander- I can help you.

Hi Aberdein
I picked up your thread while researching my maternal great-great grandmother Mary Wishart (I've just started this exciting journey!) and I'm wondering if you found out any more?
I can tell you that mary did come to Australia with all the children - she married again - a fellow named Charles Conacher. Please let me know if you are still following this trail and I'll provide what I have here
Regards
