Her parents names sought please.
Also

His father was (JA) John A.FINLAYSON of 605 Havelock Street,Ballarat,Victoria.............circa WW1..

Hi
There is a John Alexander FINLAYSON b. 1862 Creswick brother to Margaret mentioned in the last reply. I will type up the 9 siblings if you think this is your family.
If it is your family Arthur Wilfred FINLAYSON b. 1895 would be Margaret's nephew.
Cheers

Hi
Here is the birth reg of Arthur Wilfred b. 1895 - you may have taken his details from the NAA website
Birth
FINLAYSON Arthur Wilfred
Father John Alexander
Mother Eva REED
at Ballarat 1895/509
Looked up FINLAYSON/REED marriage in 1885/2024 and John is born Geelong. Checked births for John Alexander FINLAYSON B. Geelong - he was born in 1861/8234 with parents William FINLAYSON and Mary HOLDEN. John Alexander has 5 siblings - none named Margaret. So there does no appear to be a connection with your Margaret Mackay FINLAYSON.
Cheers

Thanks Cando
Well it's a real mystery now !
I take it that Margaret Mackay FINLAYSON was not born 23 February 1879,Melbourne,Victoria.
I know she married Henley Charles DARNELL circa 1907/08 (maybe Western Australia)
The Arthur Wilfred FINLAYSON connection maybe a Red Herring !
Back to drawing board !

Hi
You were correct - married in WA
FINLAYSON Margaret M
DARNELL Henry C
Perth 561/1906
Do you think the Margaret FINLAYSON b. 1876 with father Alexander and mother Isabella McKAY is a possibility? There were no Margaret Finlayson births on the Pioneer Index between 1876 and 1888.

It's a possibility ! Margaret Mackay Darnell (nee Finlayson) died 1921 Perth and I have her birth as 23/02/1879 which may be incorrect.
I guess the easiest thing would be to get her m/c.

On NAA where there is a digitised record for the illustrious war service of Captain Darnell, his next of kin is Margaret McKay Darnell.
I think 2 of his sons appear to have enlisted in the next war and give their father as next of kin.

Thanks for that ! She is Margaret Mackay Darnell on NAA.
Wish I could find a birth ref for her in Victoria Australia circa 1879 !
