James & Elizabeth Foulis' children

[blamcca]

I am currently trying to write a story on James and Elizabeth (Betsy) FOULIS of Deerness, Orkney and their children. Elizabeth's maiden name was CRAIGIE.

They had the following children- George (1832), Elizabeth (1835), Mary (1837), Jane/Jean (1839), John (1841), James (c. 1846), Sarah (c. 1848), William (c. 1851). They possibly had more but I can't find any others. I would like to know where they lived, who they married, what children they had and when they died

If anyone can help I would be very appreciative.

Hi ,

Looking at online trees(not sure how accurate they are  ) George Foulis goes to South Australia and marries Rosa Rix in Adelaide in 1865.

5 possible children -
George Foulis b. 1867
Elizabeth Caroline Foulis b. 1869
Harriet Foulis b. 1872
Ella May Foulis b. 1876
Charles Henry Foulis b. 1879

You could try the Trove website for further information , it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
