Hi Listers, Have a query on the above person. Although he and his family doen't seem to have lived in the Brisbane area I am hoping that someone on this list maybe connected anyway. Joseph CHALMERS married Jane LONGMUIR on the 6 March 1831 at Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland. They had the following children: John born circa 1832 Jane born circa 1838 Margaret born circa 1840 Elizabeth born circa 1843 Joseph born circa 1846 In the 1851 census all these children have their place of birth as Calder, Lanarkshire. Calder is very close to Old Monkland Other records from Queensland indicate that there is another son Alexander Longmuir CHALMERS but I have not found his birth/baptism record yet. The family appear to have migrated to Queensland sometime in the 1850's. Some of the children may not have come with them. Alexander Longmuir CHALMERS married Jane SCOTT in 1878. From the reference given in the Qld marriage indexe it was in country Queensland not Brisbane. Alexander died in 1915, also in country Queensland. Alexander and Jane had the following children, all in country Queensland: Jane born 1880 Alexander Longmuir born 1881 and married Ameila Harriet WAGSTAFF in 1911 Margaret Longmuir born 1883 Kate Longmuir born 1885 and died 1887 Elizabeth Catherine Longmuir born 1888 died 1890 I'd love to hear from anyone who has information on this family. Joseph is the brother of my husband's ggg grandfather, Henry CHALMERS. Bye, Rosemary M Chalmers Palmerston Bookkeeping Services Darwin NT Australia rosechal@iinet.net.au www.rmchalmers.net
