Title: George and Agnes (LISK) MOLLISON Scotland Dunedin Melbourne
Post by: myrtlebank on Monday 05 September 11 08:45 BST (UK)
Can anyone help please. Am searching for  the ship that gr grandparents George Mollison and Agnes (Lisk) and family arrived on in Melbourne from Dunedin N.Z.

George and Agnes and baby James Mollison sailed to N.Z. on the Cartsburn 8th April 1874 from Glasgow, arriving Canterbury July 1874.

3 children were born in Dunedin (baby James died soon after arrival in 1874).

I feel that they would have come to Australia around the late 1880s.    However to date I have not had any success in finding the ship they arrived on in Melbourne.

Any info gratefully received.

Valerie

Thank you Alison, have everything except the ship they sailed on from N.Z. Just putting last bits together for family booklet so might have to go without that last voyage. Would have been nice to include it, but....

Cheers, valerie

Hi Alison you have been wonderful thank you so much for your prompt replies.

One query though, Andrew Mollison's marriage  doesn't make sense. Andrew my grandfather married Florence Osborne  in Abbotsford Melbourne 1901 (Nan was b 1869 Kapunda Sth. Australia?

  Different Andrew?

Cheers Valerie

Hello Valerie,
There is no marriage in 1901 for Andrew and Florence ??
Do you have the certificate ?

Florence's birth:
Florence OSBORNE b 11.2.1869 Kapunda- John OSBORNE and Elizabeth PARTRIDGE 70/499

she had 7 siblings.

Her parent's marriage:
John OSBORNE { 21 } married Elizabeth PARTRIDGE { 21} on 11.6.1867 at Residence of John PARTRIDGE Kapunda- Grooms father: John OSBORNE. Brides father: John PARTRIDGE. 71/87

By 1925
The ANDREW MOLLISON listed above by Alison is livng in QLD with his wife
HELEN ROBERTSON MOLLISON.

They are registed to vote from 1925
Address-Abbey Craig , Ninth Avenue , Corparoo.Qld
He is a Railway employee and she conducts Home Duties.

 She deid in QLD---

In 1955 REG B10123   Helen Robertson Mollison
   Father James Mather
   Mother Helen Calder


So although we seem to  have a different ANDREW MOLLISON, the marriage for the correct one is missing to date.

ANDREW and FLORENCE (Osborne)are buried together at Fawkner Mem Park.

Hi Sue

Thanks all for info re Mollisons.

Sorry, I quoted Nan's marriage off the to;p of my head and was a year out. Nan married Grandad at Burnley House Burnley St Richmond on 5th November 1902.  Nan and Grandad are buried close to my Mum and Dad at Fawkner (Nan and Grandad lived with us in Coburg).  I do not know who the other Andrew is I have no knowledge of any Andrew Mollison in Queensland.

Cheers Valerie

It is not important that you do or do not know him. ;D

I give his details merely as a means of clearly differentiating one man from the other.
