* COMPLETED*.Alexander KENNEDY-Australia

[cupcake]

I am trying to find out when Alexander Kennedy emigrated from Scotland to Australia.

They had nine children, the first being born in Brisbane 16 August 1865, so Alexander & Elizabeth must have emigrated soon after their marriage in October 1864.

Alexander Kennedy was a Pioneer Cheese Maker, in NSW. Would also like to find information regarding this, too.
