New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Helen Miller - David Miller
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 05:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi Lu,
Andrew Cumming married Jane Miller, Helen's sister, 18 Oct 1867, Hokitika.
These are my  gt grandparents.
Passenger lists show that Helen may have gone to Melb from Hokitika, on the Gothenburg, and returned with Jane on the Alhambra, Jan 1867. Jane was 4 months pregnant and her first husband had died at the end of Oct.
I am trying to obtain proof that the David Miller, who was a partner to Andrew Cumming, was Helen's husband and if so what has happened to that side of the family.
David Miller was also a witness to Andrew and Jane's marriage.
Hopefully there are descendants of Helen and David who will have all the answers.
The only thing I know about David Miller is that he is down as Capt David Miller in the marriage announcement in the Glasgow Herald. He would have been born c1830.
Cheers         Ian

New Zealand Completed Requests / Helen Miller - David Miller
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 03:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am after info on the Helen Miller - David Miller family who may have emigrated to NZ in the 1860's.
Helen Miller was born 1833 in Gibraltar, to Gavin and Janet Miller (nee Dick).
Helen married David Miller in Charlotte Town, 16 May 1862.
There is evidence that the Millers may have lived in Hokitika 1866 to 1870.


Cheers

Hi Janice,
Its wonderful that people will go to so much trouble to help.

Correct name but wrong Fullarton.
I suspect that he is "my" fullarton's son.

Fullarton Dick married Christian Gray, 1799. I suspect that, Christian died soon after the birth of John Gray Dick in 1819. Subsequently Fullarton married Magdalene Wilson resulting in the birth of Fullarton jnr 1821/1822. Unfortunately I have no proof, but ages, dates and places indicate that this is what happened.

I was hoping that a MI might have include Christian Gray and the fact that she died in 1819.

Many thanks              Ian

Hi Julie,
Could you please look up Fullarton Dick (wife Christian Gray) for me.
Fullarton was alive in 1824, but had disappeared for the 1841 census.
His last known address was St Quivox.

Love your cat.

Cheers from Perth Australia

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Greenwood - Rastrick
« on: Saturday 28 May 11 01:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Could any one please help with information on John Greenwood and Sarah Rastrick? (my g g g grandparents). John was a joiner (builder)

I have been unable to find their births, deaths or marriage.
I do have a John Greenwood, joiner, on both the 1841 and 1851 census at Little Gomersal, which gives a birth date c 1783.

I know they had at least 2 children. George Saynor born 1820, Little Gomersal and John Thomas born 1824, Little Gomersal. John Thomas married Ann Storr and emigrated to Melbourne 1852.

Cheers            Ian

Caithness / Re: John Sutherland / Louisa Thomson
« on: Thursday 17 March 11 09:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Ev,
Unfortunately there is no revealing info on the marriage record.
"Sutherland. John in South Killimster was matrimonially contracted to Louisa Thomson in Harland. Cautioners John Cormack in Wick & Donald Harrold in Gillock"

SP has no parish records for deaths/burials, in Caithness, for the period 1800 to 1854.
No records kept? or they have not been transcribed?

I have assumed that the only info might come from a tombstone!!!!!

A contributer to RootsWeb gives Louisa's birth and parents but does not specify a source.

Cheers      Ian
