Victoria Burial, Kew, Angus Robertson, 1945
« on: Sunday 17 March 13 21:32 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for burial of Angus Robertson, died Kew 1945, aged 84, registration no. 6826.  Have checked Kew Cemetery website without success.  Are there other possibilities?

Other relevant information for Angus:
Born 28th November 1861, Rothes, Moray, Scotland.  Arrived NSW 24th March 1885, "SS Gulf of Mexico".  Father Alexander Robertson (1818-1892), mother Jane Morrison Cameron (1831-1899).
Three elder brothers (Duncan, Lauchlan & Alexander), two elder sisters (Helen & Isabella McBain).

I'm interested in his wife's name (is she in same grave?).  Victoria BMD website identifies a number of marriage possibilities which I hope to narrow down.

Any help will be appreciated.

Andrew

Hi
Which family members immigrated with ANGUS? He was adult at the year of arrival.
Do you know?

Burials often follow a family pattern in terms of location.

 This marriage is one of those to 1901. It is the only one which identifies the grooms place of birth as Scotland.

This is a birth to the above couple.

I list because of the second given name of the child which may of course be merely a co-incidence as it is not an uncommon name at all.

 ROBERTSON  Donald Cameron
Father Angus
Mother Margt MCRAE
Birth Place CARLTON
Year 1908

Sue,

Many thanks for all the searching you did, Angus to Margaret McRae was the correct marriage.  I misled you by giving the names of parents and siblings, Angus emigrated alone to Australia, the others remained in Scotland.

From the Argus newspaper notice found most of Angus & Margaret's children on Victoria BDM.  One listed, Margaret, wasn't there so I guess she was born in another state.  Another not listed, Angus Alexander, died in infancy.

The reason for my enquiry was to trace what happended to the siblings of my GGrandmother, Angus's sister Isabella.  All I had known of Angus was his emigration sometime before 1888.  Your assistance has helped to fill that gap so many thanks from me.

Best wishes,

Andrew
