Hi Finlay McIntosh was my Father.  The information re dates and marriage you have all seems correct.  My understanding as to why he left Scotland was to search for work as things were hard in Scotland at the time.  I know he travelled to Australia by boat and disembarked in Freemantle.  Not sure of dates and movements until he got to Kalgoolie and married my Mother Jean Bursill on December 7 1935.  They had 7 children and obviously one of those is your Father.
Love to hear from you
Beryl

Hi aunty Beryl

It's great to hear from you. I have done a bit of research on the McIntosh family.
I would love to send you all the information that I have. Mum has said that you have met some of the relations in Scotland, I would be grateful if you have some info on them for me.

So sad about the earthquake in Christchurch, hope that you are all well.

Carol
ps my Father is Sydney (as I'm sure you know all ready) ;)

Hi there,

I noticed this thread mentioned a Euphemia Vass.   

My husband's grandmother was Davidina Vass.   I just found out this week from another cousin that two of Davidina's sisters were called Euphemia and Jessie.   
We knew that Davidina's family lived around Balintore area and have some family photo's, fishing was the main source of income.   Does this sound familiar to any of you.?

Love to hear from anyone

I haven't yet gone that far back into Euphemina's family but they might be relations of mine.

We haven't gone back with Davidina either.
 
I don't think the IGI have the full records online.  Any preliminary research I have done does not "jive" completely with the family information past down to me. 
Thanks
