Hello Doug & Jan. My gt-grandfather Alexander Watson was born in Petty, Inverness in 1836, to Jonathan Watson & Margaret McLean. He was a carpenter. He came to Moreton Bay Qld in 1857. He married Jessie Cameron, then Sophia Tucker after Jessie's death in 1881. Alexander died in 1890. My paternal grandmother was the 8th of 10 chdn of Alexander & Jessie. At least 1 brother, James & 1 sister, Catherine came to Australia also. Dawn Quinlan, nee Gleeson. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

I am looking the above names and also am interested in any information on an anti-tsarist group that formed in Brisbane in the early 1900s. My g-grandfather was a Russian who jumped ship in Melbourne in 1902 and found his way to Brisbane working on the AUSN shipping line as a cook. Neale Ferguson
