James Robertson's 1887 death documentation lists his occupation as "farmer".

Thank you Wivenhoe for resonding to my query.
1. James and Ann Robertson had three children in Scotland, the youngest being born in January 1842.
2. Their third child Ellen was born in Tasmania 1844/1845.
3. James Robertson died in Westbury, Tasmania in 1887. His wife also died in Tasmania.

Thanks Maddys52,

yes, I have checked through the Tasmanian Names Index and their arrivals. None of the James Robertsons match my dates (1842-1845).

yes, these are the death notices for James and his wife. (Thanks for looking them up.)

When and on which ship did James ROBERTSON (1812-1887)& his wife Ann (BYERS) (1818-1894) emigrate from Cruden, Scotland to Tasmania, Australia?

James Robertson was born in Cruden, Aberdeenshire and his wife Ann Byers was born in Peterhead. They had three children prior to emigrating to Australia. These are Agnes (1839), Mary (1940) ( mentioned in the 1841 census) and James, who was born in January of 1842.

As their fourth child, Ellen was born in Tasmania, Australia about 1844/1845, their arrival is most likely to be around 1842-1845.

I have been searching for years to find out the date and the name of the ship.

Does anyone have any suggestions that may guide me in my research?

I am related to these soliticitors.  Matthew CANE married the daughter of Charles FITZGERALD (Snr) and their daughter, Christiana Sophia  married the Dublin coroner/attorney Henry DAVIS. His son, Robert Henry Douglas DAVIS was a doctor (and also my gg grandfather). They were also located at St John's Terrace, Clontarf.

In 1850 there are possible solicitor connections on Stafford street (now Wolfe Tone street) :

   28 Fitzgerald (Charles, Charles jnr & James) & Cane (Matthew) solicitors
