Mary Ann Taylor
« on: Thursday 27 April 17 13:52 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on Mary Ann Taylor born in Aberdeen in 1861  and died Mary Ann Dunn in Perth, Australia, I think in 1944. She was my Great Grandfather's sister and I am interested in finding out how and when she travelled to Australia - and anything else about her life and family.

I think the OP wants to know about her life in Australia.

Death and funeral notices:

Thank you. Yes, that is the Mary Ann Taylor I am searching and, as you say, I am particularly interested in her travel to Australia (e.g. what date, which ship) and her life immediately afterwards. Thank you for the links to the records, which have identified a year of marriage and the birth of children. Any other information would be very gratefully received.

You can search the Queensland immigration records online but there are a lot of possible arrivals.  Many of the manifests are just a name and age so you will probably find it difficult to identify her.

Hi there, I believe Mary Ann TAYLOR (DUNN) was my great great grandmother.  She passed away in Perth WA in 1944.
