Thanks for these! The only issue that I had previously known about for John McDonald and Jane Cameron was a daughter Catherine, who married William George McMullin. I had no clue about the others!

And how interesting is that little snippet of the McDonalds? I found it quite heartwarming.

Just a new bit of information that I have come across. I have not seen Finlay/Findlay's death certificate, however someone who is a relative of mine has said that the informant (I believe) was his son, Ferchan. However, he refers to himself as Frank. This may be my next clue in finding more information on Ferchan!

Also, I have seen someone on Rootsweb refer to Finlay as Francis Finlay, but this may just be an error on their behalf.

There was a Francis Finlay McDonald with wife Dorothy, at Rouchel Brook.

You'll find their children buried at RB Cemetery: http://austcemindex.com/?cemid=579

Are you able to find out whether Ferchan signed the DC as Frank & does it actually say 'Son' or is this an assumption?

The more positive info. the better.

Were all the children definitely listed as 'their' sons/daughters on immigration?

Just a thought with lack of info. on some as some may have been related in another way?
