Immigration - William SCOTT

[minniehaha]

The codicil mentions my grandson, William Lawrence, son of my daughter Elizabeth........

Casey are we on the right track here? Or not?


Minniehaha.

Death notice for William (the correct man, or not?)

The William buried in Bolton St may not be the correct man as he states he is a storekeeper in his will.

Casey,do you have any documents for births,deaths or marriages for the family?

Cheers Janette

....  I believe he was a storekeeper at Willis Street, Wellington as this is where his daughter was married from.

 His daughter Elizabeth married Rudolphe Marie Martin Joseph de St Laurent in 1857 in Wellington.
