Title: BOAG
Post by: Adi1962 on Friday 07 January 05 15:34 GMT (UK)
Hi,

Just found that one of my rellis in NZ married a BOAG and they came from Ardoch, Perth.

William BOAG 1828 - 1904 departed on the Cornwall to Lyttelton, NZ in 1851 along with his mother Jane b 1805 and Father William b 1800 (may have been others but have not found a passenger list that gives steerage passengers, only cabin passengers)

If any one is related to William BOAG or has details on his life in Perth befroe emigration, would love to hear from you.

Adrian

Not much use to you really, but I believe there are still a few in Perth.  My friends mother was one (from Perth), but sadly he died last year, so I cant give you any more info than that!

I have many Boags in my tree, from Perthshire, Redgorton, Foreteviot and Perth. Eventually they came to Australia via Robert Boag of Forteviot. Not sure if my tree would be of any use to you, but please send me a message if you would like to see it.
