Hi everyone just to answer some of the queries , I know that Robert David Corrie had six siblings who all lived in Australia in the 1980'. Robert sailed to the Pacific and eventually reached Kiribati (Gilbert Islands), had twelve children , six from his first wife and another six from his second wife, his wives names were Taoniti and Lydia. One of his son's with Taoniti named Alexander had two daughters with a Tuvaluan lady. He then left Tuvalu for Fiji and also had several children with a Tongan lady
Robert's other son with Taoniti is named Benjamin David Corrie married Banaban ladies from Ocean Island and has five children as one happened to be my mother and most of us also reside in FIJI
My grandfather Benjamin died in the 1970s at the age of 98
Hope my information answers some of your questions
Regards

Greetings everyone,

I'm new here as a result of searching for information my mom seeks about her grandfather Robert Corrie, and I think this may be it.  I posted information on one of Dunscore's post.  My mom is the daughter of Mita Milne Corrie who is the daughter of Robert Corrie.  Mom was really happy and sad hearing of this site and topic about her grandfather and the Corrie family around the world.  We live in the Mariana Islands.  We would like to hear from Dunscore and the information he seeks.  Thanks and take care.

Hi,It is so good to meet you at this site
My grandfather is Mita's brother called Benjamin Corrie . Benjamin's families live in Fiji
Bye and Regards

I am trying to locate information on
Robert David Corrie who went to the Gilbert Islands in the South Pacific c 1859.
His mother and siblings migrated to Sydney, Australia in approx 1855.

He married a native lady in the Gilberts and had family there.

Hi Dunscore
Robert David Corrie was at Kiribati in the 1800s and had  twelve children .
His father was from Scotland and mother from England and migrated to Sydney with six of his other sibings
Robert's son Benjamin Corrie is my Grandfather
Hope that helps
Regards

Talofa, thanks for information as I 've just read your message and found out that your grandfather is myAlec brother who was my great grandfather.My father knew that Ben is his grandfather's brother and he is in Fiji. I have been seaching for this Corrie family as my father is willing to know the whereabout of the Corrie families. He knew that some of them are in Fiji and some of them are in Kiribati.

Can you tell me more on Alecs and Ben's parents?

looking forward to hear more from you.
