This is possibly Margaret Jane SCILLEY's arrival in Victoria.
I do not see any others of the surname on that voyage.

Unless your happy that the Jane Russell found in Sydney is the right girl (dubious) then this one may be the one.

When Margaret Jane SCILLEY widow of Sheparton died in 1915, she left a will which she had drawn up in 1912.

She appointed sons William and James as trustees and was most attentive in favouring her daughters and daughter-in-law who all received generous bequests.

They are named in the document. A niece named Jean JOHNSTONE is also included.

The will is digitised for download and reading.

Wonderful Ros, thank you very much

Do you think that John Black and Jane Russell were actually married I'm beginning to think

that perhaps they weren't...I'm open to all suggestions

Many thanks

Apologies Neil and Sue, that will teach me to scroll down before answering a post

Neil, I'm much happier with that Jane Russell in the newspaper, the one that Ciderdrinker found

just didn't sit well with me (but I do have an open mind!) However, if her birth was ca. 1837 that

would make her approx. 10yrs old on arrival...what do you think?

Many thanks
Joy
