Hi Everyone, My son is busy looking for the birth date and place  for his and our elusive Immigrant John McArthur 28. His wife Isabella Stevenson was 26 born Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland. They left the Clyde 15 December 1856. He is quite cluey for a novice and bit like a dog with a bone looking in places I havent so far. He has just ordered the BigY 700, so hopefully that will find something for us. He also found on facebook a Scottish Index. called, scottishindexes.com and there was a Duncan McArthur, Hawker, up for stealing in 1824(Johns father on marr cert was Duncan McArthur and his wife? Margaret Smith Renfrewshire, prostituting herself in 1826, Johnwas born 1828 so the timing could be irght or just a coincidence (none to be found baptising a son John and no other children to them )..  Our John was working as Farm Servant at Cathcart in 1856 just prior to his marriage, in Cmbuslang.  Cathcart is in Renfrew back then but partly in Lanarkshire now.  He could read and write and was a upstanding sort of fellow here in Tasmania.  Lay Preacher and spokesman for the district  when living at Patersonia, so doesnt sound like this couples son,  we cant discount him as we have nothing to go on, not one piece of paper or document with date of birh or place on.  So hoping this Bounty ticket may help. Maybehe had something or someone he wanted to hide? Mals father Y67 dna has yeilded no McArthur to date , about 14 McNeill/l same for McDonald/ MacDonald, Cameron, Campbells, Buie, Carmichael.  Some of them have only done a 12 or 25 but several Y67 like his father.  So who knows who they really are. I shall update Robs Y67 to Y111 and see who is left standing.  Then maybe Mals Big Y 700 will help also. We have the ships manifest of the Broomielaw, but he has found in the archive site  a Nominal list of Bounty Immigrants Tickets . They are in books in Alphabetical Order and John and Isabella  McArthur family ticket is 362.  Has anyone seen one of these Bounty Tickets and do they show birth date.  you would think that since they immigrated there would be a forwarded address back in Scotland and at the very least since they were hand picked by the agent there would be  some information such as date of birth and birthplace surely. Can anyone help with the Bounty Ticket what is on them please.? Thanks Edie McArthur Edie McARthur

Edie, there is discussion of Bounty Tickets, with a listing of the info potentially contained thereon, at: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Australia,_New_South_Wales,_Index_to_Bounty_Immigrants_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records) Unfortunately, these indexed and imaged records only cover the time frame from 1828 to 1842. cheers, Elaine - TAS descendant in Reno, Nevada On Wednesday, April 24, 2019, 09:50:04 PM CDT, eamca1944@bigpond.com <eamca1944@bigpond.com> wrote: Hi Everyone, My son is busy looking for the birth date and place  for his and our elusive Immigrant John McArthur 28.

Thanks maree, but it is the Bounty Ticket it self rather than information on the Bounty Immigrant we need. I have the full ships manifest and Mal found the actual Bounty Ticket number in the Libraries Tasmania site.I think it was. Also aNominal List of Boounty Immigrants Books in Alphabetical order. On the NSW site Elaine sent I found an example of a Bounty Ticket for the year 1840, It gave fathers occupation and mothers. Native place. On Johns Ship, Broomielaw, the manifest just has Scotland for Native place so we were hoping such a Bounty Ticker would tell us more. I did look at the pages you mentioned but it didnt give me what I needed above what I knew, though interesting just the same. Thank you for taking the time to look.
