Hi Kylie

There seems to be a bit of information out there in
"cyber space" for your family.
I googled donald munro+catherine mcgillivray
and
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/c/k/Barry-G-Mckenzie-MELBOURNE/index.html
shows a death for
Catherine Munro (nee McGillivray) buried at Tenterfield NSW 29/8/1917
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au
has a death
Catherine MUNRO 10403/1917
Father: Donald  Mother: Mary   Reg @ Tenterfield

Perhaps this is your Catherine if her maiden name was McGillivray? 

It might be worth checking out clanmunroaustralia.org too, if you haven't already  ;D

Thanks
My Catherine's maiden name was mcGillivray, so she must be the one buried in Tenterfield.

Seems to be a fair bit on the net about Donald McGillivray Munro and his family.

Not much on his siblings though....is there any sign of marriages and children for these siblings to Donald Jnr please?

Alan Munro Born 1844
Mary Munro born 1849
Alexander and Donald Munro born 1851
Margaret born 1854
Cath born 1859
Christina born 1860
Flora born 1862
Duncan born 1865

Many thanks if anyone can find further sign of them.
