Deb - I'm not sure that link works  - it doesn't bring up a specific record

[deb usa]

Thanks, spidermonkey ;

It's in reference to Donald Chisholm, clergyman:

CS318/6/46  Donald Chisholm, Abertarff, Invernessshire, Clergyman  1863

Nick's initial link to him was taken from : THE EDINBURGH GAZETTE, JULY 2, 1858.

This Document was on the National Archives, Scotland:
I'm not sure what it would reveal as the date is 5 years after the gazette article: It could be the exact same thing

Thanks majm for your earlier notes... I was too  tired when I saw them to respond, but they look good.

My Deb, you have been busy.  I am just starting my first cup of coffee (I know it's noon, but I wasn't in bed until after 4 am), so give me an hour or so to assimilate all the great stuff you found.  Really looks like we have the right William.

Deb, you must have magic search fingers.  I searched Trove and Am Baile and only found a fraction of the links to Wm Chisholm and Murdoch Bayne that you did.

Also, good find on Donald & Mary "Bain" in 1861; I had assumed Donald had died and now I can check them for marriages, etc in scotlandspeople.

I've sent a request to NAS for a quote on obtaining the 1863 sequestration file.

From Wiki, it appears the original location of the Goulburn Grammar school changed about 1858.  Couldn't find anything later, but early, early this a.m. I found a link to  the Goulburn Historical Society and sent email asking if they had info on William.

WOW!  I just noticed that the Ross letter to Chisholm is dated 1867... that implies that the 1864 death in Forbes (300+ km from Goulburn) is not our man.

I am now going to look more into requesting the Am Baile notices, but suspect they are not much more extensive than the brief bits shown.

Regards,

Nick
