William Anderson born 1828 Edinburgh Scotland

[suzilad]

 William Anderson was born in St.Cuthberts parish Edinburgh Scotland on 28 December 1828 he was the son of David Anderson and Elizabeth Penman.

I am trying to prove he headed for Australia first where he married then went to Dunedin New Zealand where his wife and him both died.
