Wishart. ;

Skoosh.

Oh yes, you're right.  It's Wishark on the marriage record, but Wishart on the children's baptisms and on her own death certificate.

Hi,

Sorry to revive an old thread but looking into family history as my grandmother passed recently, we originated from the same family line from what I can find. We can to Australia by Captain George Groundwater, sailing to Maryborough QLD. From my research we also link back to the same Magnus and I think I've correctly pieced together a family tree to the late 1500s on Ancestry.

Thanks,
Beau.
