Dear All, Thank you so much for responding to my message earlier this week, your information has been really exciting, as my grandmother had been stuck for so long, and she'd been doing the family history for many years (since I was a child and I'm 45) by microfiche.
 Mothermacree and Macpherson, I"m not sure how the website works but if we could exchange emails at some point that would be great. My nan is based in the Shoalhaven (Bomaderry) and she would love to speak to you at some point if you'd be willing?
There is also a gentleman- David McAndrew Western Australia- with whom I've been in touch with, who would be very interested in your information regarding Donald and his parentage. I've emailed him tonight telling him about this thread, and hopefully in some way he will be able to join the conversation. I am going to try to share the link with him. But if that doesn't work (and if Macpherson doesn't mind) I'd like to introduce you via email at some point.
I love that we are talking about this! And I"m emailing from Blairgowrie at this moment! It feels quite special. I have an appointment with Wilma from the genealogy society tomorrow so if there's anything else to share I shall let you know. And I will be lurking around that house!
I will also be in Nowra after Christmas and my mother and I will be going to visit Ann, and to tidy up her grave if it needs it.
Thank you again for your responses, it means a lot,
Cheers from Blairgowrie!
Rachael.

Hi again, I stupidly didn't realise you meant an extra story on the HOUSE, I thought you meant the thread! I've tried to find where this house would be- but when I google Milltown of Drumlochy only a farmhouse for sale comes up- would you have an address for it? I also spoke to my grandmother, and shared your message with her, she was wondering if you had anything else on John Rutherford, as she doesn't have much on him.
Also, in an earlier post mothermacree mentions Rebecca's birthday, being in February 1788- I'd love to know if there's a birth certificate, or how she found this out. To find Rebecca's parent's names would be amazing- though a long shot I know. Very much looking forward to my weekend in Blairgowrie!

Thank you so much! This is very exciting to know the house still stands. I doubt I’ll be prepared enough to drive through a ford to get there on this visit but maybe next year. I can’t seem to find the extra story in the thread though. Are you based in Australia or Scotland?
You probably already know this but Ann is buried in Kiama (curiously where my mother lives!). I am based in London so will have more opportunities to go to to Blairgowrie next year.
Thank you so much.

Hello, I am descended from Catherine, Rebecca's daughter. I am going to Blairgowrie this coming weekend, and very happy to have come across this thread. I hope it's still active. My grandmother and I are looking for Rebecca's final resting place. Any help would be appreciated! Very curious to find out where Rebecca's birth information was found, this has been something my grandmother has been stuck on for years! Many thanks.
