You're welcome Brian.

I just found Lachlan and Margaret's gravesite at Toowong Cemetery here in Brisbane.  They're buried together.  If you click on "detailed map" option, you can actually see an aerial view of the gravesite.

The link gives their burial dates.

Here's the link:-

Updating that I found a death registration # B2651 for a James George Carmichael, but don't know if it is Lachlan Carmichael's son because the free registration doesn't list the names of the father or mother.

1865/B2651   Carmichael   James George   -   - ** aged 12 years  (this seems to add up re: previous census post here)

I found adds in the Brisbane Courier newspaper from 1866 onwards for Lachlan's chemist shop in Queen Street Brisbane, so they were in Brisbane from at least then on.    He also posted an add in Help Wanted for a servant girl to work for "a family of 2" in 1871. 


Cheers :)

Me again Brian ...   I just found the death registration for Lachlan Carmichael's wife Margaret who is mentioned in the thread here previously:-

Here's a copy and paste of the brief result:-

1885/B17852   Carmichael   Margaret        William Steel   - ** born England aged 49 years

She died here somewhere in Queensland (doesn't mention where on the free online search function) in 1885 aged 49 years.    Death registration # B17852.     The details record William Steel as her father. 

According to a classified notice that Lachlan posted in the Brisbane Courier newspaper re: transfer of her land holdings at Enoggera in the State of Queensland to him, Margaret died on the 29th May 1885.  She was buried on the 31st May 1885.

Surely this must be the "Lauchlan" Carmichael you were originally looking for back in 2007.

Here's the link to the free online search that provides brief details of Queensland Births between 1829 - 1914, and Deaths and Marriages between 1829 and 1929.

Lauchlan Carmichael shown as a Chemist in South Leith 1861 Census.
I am unable to find his death record or his record in any later census.
Can you help?

Here's the link to the photo and it's description mentioning Lachlan Carmichael's Chemist shop that I came across earlier today that led me to your post here.

Hi Brian,  I came across a Queensland death registration # B2080 for a Lachlan Carmichael for 1902 aged 76 years.   He was born in Scotland. 

There was a Lachlan Carmichael who was a Chemist in Queen Street, Brisbane Queensland Australia around 1873 I think it was ... I saw a picture of Queen Street online today with his name written on the side of a building from that era.    If I can find the link to the picture I'll post it here.   

When I tried to find more info on him, your post here came up.   I thought it was a bit much of a coincidence that your Lauchlan Carmichael was a Chemist and that the Queensland-based  "Lachlan" Carmichael was originally born in Scotland (I looked up South Leith and it's somewhere in/near Edinburgh Scotland ??)    The age seems to just about fit too if he was born 01 Oct 1826 St Cuthbert’s, Edinburgh, Midlothian (Extracted) ... (as mentioned somewhere on this thread).
