Alexander died 17 Dec 1909, Burnley (68 Gibbon St.), buried: 18 Dec 1909, Boroondara Cemetry: Pres.Sect B Gr:3140.
Alexanders wife and their two youngest children. Catherine and Robert, died in Portland soon after their arrival,( it appears that their eldest child may have remained in Scotland, he married Janet Davidson wife number two of three) in Portland during 1854. Janet also a passenger on the Utopia, was initially employed by a Doctor Greig of Portland.
Janet arrived in Portland aboard the same boat as Alexander McLean and his family on the 23 January 1854. The Utopia sailed from Liverpool on 3/11/1853 Shipping documents indicate that Janet was with a group of "domestic servants" and that she was engaged by a Dr Grier for a period of six months. This evidence suggests that is very likely that Alexander met Janet at least 12 months before their marriage in October 1854.
Current research indicates that Harriett Hornby was a passenger on the Golden Era, which arrived in Australia, June 1854. Harriett was shown as being 13 years of age which is within two years of my record of birth yet the date of arrival matches the "Time in Victoria" i.e 52 years in 1907 shown on her death certificate. I suspect that the age should read 15.

There was a fire at my home and I lost all the record's that I had and I had to re-place the computer that had all the information and paper work. I lost everything. so i am starting all over again. That why I need to know. I was going by what I remember and hoped I was right. I don't remember what date he was born and if he had any brother's or sister's & when he was married & I don't remember his parent's name's was when they got married and how many brother's & sister's but I do remember he came from Porlock in England.

I have a question on my Grand parent's, great grand parent'sand my great great Grand father and grand mother great great great parent's.

My grand father name is Charles James Pearce born 20 Sept 1909 in place of birth Cathcart, Remfrenshire, Scotland and later on he moved to Glasgow and got married to my grand mother Marian Reid Drew. I don't know when they got married but I know it was in Glasgow. She was born 15 Feb 1915 in Kelvin, Glasgow, Scotland. When they got married I don't know or where and I do know if she had 2 sister's but I don't know anythink about them or her parent's which would also be great to find out more about her family too. I don't know if my grand father had brother's or sister's too ?


My great grand father James Ernest Pearce was born in the late 1800's in Cathcart Scotland when was he born and who was his parent's also did he have any brother's or sister? and when did he married my Great Grand mother Agnes Stark Mason I don't know when she wad born also I don't know anything about her parent's or if she has any brother or sister's ?  when was they born? I know he came from Finhorn in Scotland I don't know anything about them but would be great to know ?

When did my great great Grand parents where born and married also my great great grand father mother what where their name's, also their parents name's. I know my great great grand father came from Porlock England and do have brother's and sister's what where there name's what birth date's ?
