    3. Jim, >>Priscilla MacKenzie, born 1864 Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, died 1890 at the age >>of 25 of consumption at The Home, Harmony and is buried at Upper Picton. Her >>death certificate records that she had been in NSW for 15 years, which I >>have interpreted as meaning that she was sent to Australia in 1875 as a 10 >>year old following the death of her mother. No entry in the NSWAO assisted immigrants index for the period for a Priscilla M(a)cKENZIE. This suggests she may have been of sufficient means, or had relatives in that state, to pay her fare. Of course, she could also have swum here, like so many others did in the 19th century <g>. John John Graham johngrah@ozemail.com.au GENEALOGY FROM GERRINGONG http://www.ozemail.com.au/~johngrah/
