Tracing Scottish Immigrants - Daniel Wright and Jane Taylor Wright née McFadzen

[angus75]

Dear all,

Thank you so much for the time spent and (and very fast response) in solving my question - I now have an idea of what happened to Daniel and Jane, who both died in Australia without children. There is a still a slight mystery as to why they would have moved to Australia - there are not obvious relations on Daniel's side who had previously emigrated, but perhaps there are on Jane's side.

Special thanks to Ros (@rosball) who went above and beyond to photograph the probate package for both.

Given that it's only about 24h since I asked the original question, I think this is all very impressive! Well done Rootschat community! 

best wishes

Hi Jamjar,

Yes, the estate went to a niece, one of his sister's daughters back in Scotland.
