Inverness / Neil Cameron of Inverness
« on: Monday 15 April 19 23:41 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking information about Neil Cameron/Neil Archibald Cameron, formerly of Mansfield Victoria , Australia, supposedly born in Inverness c.1820’s, son of Neil Cameron of the same place, a medical doctor. I have been unable to ascertain the source of this information, but it is repeated on almost every family tree which has him.
Is there a site to search medical practitioners from this era? Is anyone aware of the course of study to qualify as MD for this era? My knowledge is general & uninformed - mostly relying on the gruesome tales of anatomy schools, etc.

Cork / Re: Lady McNaughton ship to Australia

Many years later, someone reads an old listing.
I have a copy of the book "Quarantined! the 1837 Lady Macnaghten Immigrants".  Mary O'Connell - family is listed as Connell  - details on p.79 - note for her says born c 1820, Cork; note on same page says married 1840 to George Henry Barker.  The family had 9 children, only 7 arrived safely in Sydney - twin girls aged 1 died of measles.
George Henry Barker - not identified as a passenger;  only reference found was in the note for the O'Connell family.
Information for the notes relating to this family from NSW BDm, and Mrs E. Casey, Leonard Munday, Fr Brian Maher and Peter Mayberry.
