MUNRO Family From Isle of Skye 1852-3 to Victoria
« on: Wednesday 01 September 10 09:02 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have a family from Strath in the Isle of Skye who emigrated to Victoria under the highlands and islands emigration scheme in 1853- just wondering what became of them??

Does anyone have access to Victorian BMD's to be able to tell me if the couple had any more children in australia, when they died and what happened to their children please?

Couple was Donald aged 36 and Catherine aged 30 in 1852-3, and their children- Donald McGillivray Munro aged 10, Allan Munro aged 8, Mary Munro aged 3, Donald Munro aged 1 and Alexander Munro aged 1.

Many thanks for any help!!

Donald's will is also digitised.  Died 16 July 1865, farmer of Mortlake.  Will dated 3 April 1865, leaves all to his wife Catherine for her lifetime and then to be divided among his children - unfortunately not named.

Same link as Leanne has given.

Donald is buried at Mortlake.
