Francis Weir BEATTIE & Jane or Jean MILLIGAN
« on: Thursday 16 March 06 11:19 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out any information on the following family:

Francis Weir Beattie (Born abt 1788) married Jane or Jean Milligan (Born abt 1792) in Gatehouse on Fleet, Kirkcudbridgeshire, Scotland  in about 1813.  Their children were:

Jane                 B. 3 February 1814 or 3 June 1814 at Gatehouse
Jessie               B. 15 June 1817 at Kirkbean
Elizabeth          B. 8 July 1820 at Kirkbean
Robert              B. 19 November 1826 at Tongland.

Jane married Thomas Christopher Caban (B. 21 Dec 1802 at Laverton, Lincolnshire, England).  They immigrated to Australia before 1840 (I'm not sure if they met and married  prior to immigrating to Australia or if they met and married once reaching Australia).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Harris, Greatorex, Clark(e), Caban, Sweetman/Swatman, Goldsmith, Peak, Jurd/Judd, Jackson, Douglas(s), Bridge, Morton, Murphy, Watson, Bailey, Cadman, Reynolds, Wright, Collier, Van Tassell, Fernance, Barnier, McMullen, Colbran, Fleming, Perkins, Beattie, Lethulier, Atkinson, Wells, Hillyer, Peat, Turnbull, Warr, Bell, Jerdon, Buffy, Green, Bosquete, Wood, Willington, Singleton, Parkinson, Thorpe, Cook, Kerr, Groves, Johnson, Hall, Smith, Stirling, Caban/Caborn, Purkiss/Porcus, Williamson.

Francis, Jane and family sailed from England on the 'William Rogers,' arriving in Australia on 26 September 1838.  Francis' parents were James Beattie and Jeanette Hough.  Francis died on the 1st March 1865 in Wollombi, NSW, Australia.  Jane was christened on the 4th April 1789 in Kirkmabreck, Kirkcudbright, Scotland and died in Sydney in 1868.  Her parents were John Milligan and Jean Hannay (married: 8 March 1778 at Kirkcudbright, Scotland).
