Hi Army, your dad's story is a bit coincidental though

Walter Armstrong (born in 19/6/1822 Berwick Scotland who came to Australia on the glen huntly with his father George armstrong), his mother was Forester/Forrester Lindsay,
George and Forester married 03 June 1809 Westruther,​Berwick,​Scotland, there were a number of births to them but couldn't find colville's birth

a census record for 1831 would be good
