Lindsay, Joseph

[Ratty2]

Joseph Lindsay, the father of James (my previous post) was born about 1809-1811 at Tyrone Ireland. He is buried at Traralgon, Vic dated 9 Nov 1881. Checking to see if anybody has spotted any more accurate date and method of migration for this man, along with his wife Elizabeth Mclean; who (according to family legend) arrived at Melbourne after their son, James. I have a suspicion his entry in the arrivals databases will be one of the several anonymous Mr Lindsay's to be found there.
