George and Agnes (LISK) MOLLISON Scotland Dunedin Melbourne

[myrtlebank]

Can anyone help please. Am searching for  the ship that gr grandparents George Mollison and Agnes (Lisk) and family arrived on in Melbourne from Dunedin N.Z.

George and Agnes and baby James Mollison sailed to N.Z. on the Cartsburn 8th April 1874 from Glasgow, arriving Canterbury July 1874.

3 children were born in Dunedin (baby James died soon after arrival in 1874).

I feel that they would have come to Australia around the late 1880s.    However to date I have not had any success in finding the ship they arrived on in Melbourne.

Any info gratefully received.

Thank you Alison, have everything except the ship they sailed on from N.Z. Just putting last bits together for family booklet so might have to go without that last voyage. Would have been nice to include it, but....

Hi Alison you have been wonderful thank you so much for your prompt replies.

One query though, Andrew Mollison's marriage  doesn't make sense. Andrew my grandfather married Florence Osborne  in Abbotsford Melbourne 1901 (Nan was b 1869 Kapunda Sth. Australia?

  Different Andrew?

Cheers Valerie

There is no marriage in 1901 for Andrew and Florence ??
Do you have the certificate ?

Florence's birth:
