Brother’s death:

2843/1864 RAE Robert parents ALEXANDER and ELIZABETH BATHURST

Sadly, these folk weren’t big on placing death/funeral notices.

Added:

At Bathurst Cemetery:

20701 RAE Eliza age 30 Row 23 Section E Plot 11A Presbyterian old  HEADSTONE

Odd that Jane and William Kerr aren’t listed.

Don’t know if this has been posted already:

5059/1890 RAE Jessie A parents CHARLES and EMMA J FORBES

I note that the father’s name differs from that on the marriage.

Will bring this query from the other thread as it's relevant to this thread. Maybe they should be merged 

I am looking for information on the Rae shipping family Kirkcudbright/Liverpool in early 1800s.  What is their relationship to Alexander Rae, Vintner/Innkeeper Kirkcudbright who migrated to Australia in 1854 with his daughter Jane Rae, married to William Kerr, and their children.  Any information on William Kerr, born Minnigaff, and Rae family members welcome.  I am descended from William Kerr and Jane Rae.

I've just checked the tree that I mentioned before and Alexander did have a brother Andrew bpt 1818 d. 1859, Bathurst.

Does this tree give the immigration details, as in State and name of ship etc?

Helke, are you saying that Alexander, the father of Alexander Brown and Jane Kerr, also came to Australia, in his 70s?

Could you provide ports of entry and ships’ names, please?
