Where did Murdoch Macdonald die in 1888?

[Ken Cameron]

Folks, I have now traced all information on the lives of Murdoch, Catherine and Margaret McDonald in Victoria, their husbands and children also. The only child I have not a complete record of is Christine McDonald.
Many thanks to everyone that answered my early questions on this family. If anyone can shed light on the marriage of Christina in Victoria it would be greatly appreciated.

If indeed it is the right couple, it was not always a happy marriage.

Christina struggled without support. 1884

She was still without support here in 1885

But by the time Jacob died, relations were seemingly warmer. 1908.

Robert and Frances LINKLATER arrived in 1852 per "James T Foord" with their 11 year old son Jacob.
Robert was a labourer.
They paid their own way and were from Orkney. Destination Geelong.

Cass and Sue fabulous work. As you can see from this post, I have been working on this for years and you both have given me the last information I needed in less than 24 hours. Great work and many many thanks for the support. I never found any hint of Linklater in my own researching as Christy McDonald is a very common name in North Uist and Christy translates into a myriad of derivatives there. I had many false leads on her in Australia and none of them came to fruition. Her mother was Mary Cameron my great great great aunt. Christina was the last child of Mary’s that I had yet to trace.
