Armagh / Re: DAWSON ROBINSON bc 1815 Co Armagh
« on: Saturday 18 December 10 22:42 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks, Kingskerswell. 

As far as I know, my Dawson Robinson (s/o Dawson b c 1815 and Mary nee Wilson) would have been born between 1842 and 1846 in Co Armagh.  So he would have been between 17 and 21 years old when the family came to Australia in 1863.

I have not done any further research for him, and have those dates from his parents' Death Certificates.

Cheers    Traffy

Hello Scotmum

Have only just discovered your post - thank you so much for the info.

Do you know if  Dawson Robinson's wife was a MARY WILSON, d/o RICHARD WILSON and JANE (nee LEATHAM/LATHAM)?

Thanks again.  Cheers.  Traffy

Armagh / DAWSON ROBINSON bc 1815 Co Armagh
« on: Tuesday 08 June 10 11:45 BST (UK)  »
I recently discovered a chat re several Dawson Robinsons under 'Sago Armargh' file.  However, I am interested in finding further information on my great great grandfather who was also DAWSON ROBINSON.

I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia which is where he died on 30 July, 1883.

The only facts I have are as follows:

He was born in Ireland, Co Armagh, circa 1815.  His parents were BARTHOLOMEW ROBINSON (occupation 'farmer') and JANE nee DAWSON.

DAWSON married MARY nee WILSON in about 1834 in Ireland - Mary was born in Portadown about 1812, and died in Brisbane on 1 September 1890.  Her parents were RICHARD WILSON ('farmer') and JANE nee LEATHEM.

Dawson and Mary's children were -

William             bc 1835 (my great grandfather)
Joseph             bc 1839
Dawson           bc 1842
Lititia               bc 1848
Martha            bc 1850
John                bc 1854
Mary                bc 1857

I am quite certain that all of the above children were born in Ireland, as Dawson and Mary arrived in Australia in 1863.  With them came my great grandfather WILLIAM and his wife,  MARY JANE nee CAIRNS.  I believe their first child, Wanata, was born on the journey to Australia.  I have heard family stories that Joseph and Lititia came to Australia, but have no knowledge of the other children.

William and Mary's sixth child was MILDRED WENTWORTH ROBINSON, who was my grandmother.
She was born and died in Brisbane.

I would love to hear from someone who has more information about this part of my family tree.

Many thanks.

Hello everyone.

I have just discovered this chat, and am interested in finding further information on my great great grandfather who was DAWSON ROBINSON.  I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, which is where he died on 30 July, 1883.

The only facts I have are as follows:

He was born in Ireland, Co Armargh, c a 1815.  His parents were Bartholomew Robinson (occupation 'farmer') and Jane Dawson.

Dawson married Mary Wilson in about 1834 in Ireland - Mary was born in Portadown, about 1812, and died in Brisbane on 1 September 1890. Her parents were Richard Wilson ('farmer') and Jane (nee Leathem).

Dawson and Mary's children were William       b c 1835 (my great grandfather)
                                                      Joseph       b c 1839
                                                      Dawson     b c 1842
                                                      Lititia         b c 1848
                                                      Martha       b c 1850
                                                      John           b c 1854
                                                      Mary           b c 1857

I am quite certain that all of the above children were born in Ireland, as Dawson and Mary arrived in Australia in 1863.  With them, came my great grandfather, William and his wife, Mary Jane nee Cairns.  I believe their first child, Wanata, was born on the journey to Australia.  I have heard family stories that Joseph and Lititia came to Australia, but have no knowledge of the other children.

William and Mary's sixth child was Mildred Wentworth Robinson who was my grandmother.

Best wishes from sunny Queensland!

Ross & Cromarty / Re: Chisholm's of Melvaig also Macrae & Mackenzie
« on: Wednesday 06 August 08 02:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi Margaret

I am researching my Macraes of Melvaig, Aultgrishan and Gairloch, and have discovered one of my great grandfather's sisters, Ann Macrae b. c 1846 married William Chisholm on 5 March 1868 in Gairloch.  Their children are listed as John b. 11 JAN 1869, Kenneth b. 28 NOV 1870, and Margaret b. 17 JUN 1873 - all born in Gairloch.

Ann's family lived at Lot 13 Melvaig, and Ann is listed in 1851 and 1861 census at that address.  I am yet to venture further along the Chisholm line.  Maybe this could help you in some way.

To Terry and Gadget

Thank you so much for replying so quickly!   :)   

I seem to have a mound of information, most of which passed down to me by my dad. Sometimes it is a little difficult to follow, but I will check out some of the details I have and post again as soon as possible.

My great great great grandfather was John Macrae b. c 1811 in Gairloch, R & C , and died 27 March 1866 in Melvaig.  He married Isabella (or Isabel) Mackenzie on 21 December 1837. Their children were Donald b. c 1838, Alexander b. c 1840, Ann b. c 1846 m William Chisholm, Mary b.c 1848 m Roderick Munro, and Kenneth b. c 1852.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has any further information or is related in any way.  I am also interested in furthering my search of the Chisholm and Munro connection.
Many thanks   Traffy
