I am looking for any information on my Gt Grandfather, John Blackwood Howie who lived in Sale, Victoria and married Margaret Jane Hutchinson there on 2nd October 1880. I understand John was an accountant and newspaper reporter while living in Sale. Their son [my grandfather] Alexander Hutchinson Howie was born in Sale in 1881. Does anyone have John's work details or possibly a photo of him? He later lived in Melbourne before emmigrating to Dunedin NZ where he died in 1905.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Bob
hello there
bob can't help with a photo or such
but it is interesting to note that on the marriage details from
the indexs margaret jane name is BEARE
and john blackwood is from KILMANROCK
on alexander birth it does say hutchinson
but on the other son birth details it reads
margaret jane beave
this is JAMES ROBERT BLACKWOOD HOWIE born 1885 at HO TH reg no 26159
now margaret died in HOTH E 1885 aged 39
says parents are john hutchinson and jemima
then he remarried in 1890 to FRANCES MYFORD regno9106
you may have all this
but hope it helps
regards jenn
