David Borland - Complete many thanks to all

[Hollyd]

I'm looking for help in finding when my 3xgreat-uncle arrived in Australia, on what ship and if he married and had any children.  He was born at Coldcoathill Farm, Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1826 and died in Castle Maine aged 61 on 10th April 1887 and was buried on 12th April 1887.  His occupation was a Builder and Contractor. He's been very elusive and I only know he had children and presumably married from his sister, Elizabeth's will but she didn't name any of them.  Can anyone help please.
