Re David Herbert Rheece (Reese) who married Margaret Barr and lived in Chiltern,Victoria,Australia I have some detail on this family and am happy to share.
"According to his obituary, it is believed David Herbert Reese arrived in Australia on board the vessel, Marco Polo, during the 1850’s. At this point in time no record for David Reese has been identified.
Margaret Barr, the daughter of James Barr and Mary Mochrie, was born on the 12th November 1845 and baptised on the 20th April 1849 in St Andrews Scots Church, Sydney, NSW.
David Herbert Reese married Margaret Barr on the 9th April 1861 in the Presbyterian Church, Smollett Street, Albury, New South Wales. The marriage document records that David Herbert Reese was a ‘butcher’ of Chiltern, Victoria. "
However there appears some difference in his birth year as his obituary states he was aged 91 years when he died - DOB c1824.
Have you been able to pin down his DOB?
Cheers
Paul
