Hi Christine

didn't realise photo go sent, other 2 photos I will attach 1 by 1

Matilda & William's family c1890, my nana Elizabeth is 3yo,
I believe  all the Buchanans had fair hair. indeed my mother & her brother Len were fair as well as  my sister & self. No doubt the Norse ancestry.

Regards

Ian

Hi Christine

I will digest information & come back you in next few days, I have a few old photos of William, Matilda & their children, I will scan them & post, appreciate if you have any information or photos on  William & Matilda.

One thing I need to check is Williams age, I have as 1837 which made him 33 when he married in 1870, however his marriage certificate could be age 38 as it's difficult to read & it's like a 3, is there somewhere I can check birth certificate?

Just out of my interest which line of the family are you from ?
Regards
Ian

Hi Christine,

I find all of this information very interesting as I was looking to research this side of my mothers/grandmothers family. I am the great grandson of William (b 1837 or is it 1832? d1923) & Matilda Buchanan (nee Walton b1849 Manchester). William arrived in Melbourne in 3/11/1857 on the ship "Melbourne" from Liverpool, he was listed on ships passenger list as a labourer, a Presbyterian & could both read & write, he was contracted to work for a Neil Campbell from 13/11/1857 located at Deep Creek. they were married in Ballarat 20/6/1870. They had 7 children, Mary b1871,d1873 (named after Williams' mother & sister?)Emma Phillips, (named after Matildas' sister) Annie May, William Thomas, Ernest Samuel, Herbert John & Elizabeth Mary my grandmother & no doubt named after Williams sister Elizabeth.
