Hi Monica,

I would say they would be the twins my grandmother always spoke about they died of hooping cough nine days apart so I guess when you a little and hear these stories they get a little bit distorted.
Dying around the same time isn't quite the same a being born on same day
How sad can see why their marriage didn't survive.

Have attached certificates

Hi Monica

Glad you could read it I could pick out the surnames funny thing is my maiden name is Stewart.

You were wondering if Bertha was Agnes mother not Jane, if you look through some of the previous information you sent Agnes's fathers name is Thomas not William and you also mentioned you couldn't find them again after 1861. 

Maybe something happened to them Thomas and William could of been brothers or could be same person Thomas William Ross or vice Vera.

James was born 1885 (not 86) (will attach birth certificate)
Elizabeth b. 1886
Ellen Kelvin b. 1887 (Kelvin is listed as the District on James birth registration.

Been in touch with a relation of Ellen's and pointed out that on her death certificate that her middle name is  Mangin not Kelvin (we knew of her as Auntie May) different sort of name have you heard of it before.


Have looked for children born to Andrew & Agnes between 1887-1885 seven years is a long time for such a Young couple to be married and not have other children especially in those days????(IE. twins)  what a tangled web...

Hi Monica & Ambly,

Just thought you might like to know what I have found on James & Agnes, as you went to so much trouble for me.

Just recently discovered the registration of James Disher Jr. Birth in Kelvin Burgh Glasgow.  He was born on 17/10/1885 Mother Agnes Disher M S Ross and Father is Andrew Disher (James Sr. younger brother) it states the year they were married as 1878.

So I look up the registration of their marrage.  This is were the story my grandmother told me rings a little bit truer.  Andrew was a Hotel Waiter and Agnes a Hotel Barmaid. (bit like innkeeper).

Andrew's father Thomas listed as Surgeon Dental(not sure) deceased and Mary Disher M.S. Reid. (so he was a doctor).

Agnes father listed as Ships carpenter deceased, I can't work out what they have written about her mother with Ross at the end of it M.S. McDonald.


Still can't find any birth registration for my grandmother Elizabeth who was born in Gateshead.  The Ellen listed on the Australian BDM have since found out is another sister.


Now I am only guessing here but I think my grandmother was James Dishers Daughter can't find any marriage listed for James and Agnes either

Hi Leanne,

Have looked up births deaths and marrages and have found both brothers children, just can't find when and where they entered Australia from Scotland.

Had already found a newspaper cutting on James so I know how and when he died.

Thanks for your help

Has taken me a while, the list of children born to James Disher and Agnes MacDonald Ross all born in Queensland listed as such:

James Disher b. 1886
Ellen Kelvin Disher b. 1888
Adelaide Disher b. 1890 d. 1892
Agnes Disher b. 1892
Thomas Mann Disher b. 1894
Charlotte Disher b. 1898

Ellen Kelvin Disher is my grandmother who I knew as Elizabeth Sutherlan McKenzie and was always told by her that she was born in 1887. 
The name change and the date of birth from 1888 to 1887 I would say would because her mother wouldn't give her permission for my grandmother to marry. 
She was married in 1908 which would make her 20 and she needed to be 21 so she changed her name, year of birth and place of birth to Scotland which would of been hard to trace in those days.....Oh! she was pregnant at the time too about 6 months which made it all  the more urgent.
