It looks like they went to Victoria Australia in January 1854 on board the Utopia through the "Assisted Immigration"

Whisky,
Just wondering if you have found out anymore on Alexander Campbell Muir born 1803 and also Christina, nee Coulthorpe. I too have traced my family back this far, but have not been able to get any further. The one story that has been passed down though is that Alexander was an illigitimate child of the Duke of Argyll (Campbell) and he was fostered out to a Muir with his mother Christina and this is why he is known as Alexander Campbell Muir and not just Alexander Muir.
Cheers,
camicmuir
