I had a look at your Tree online and see Mary Jane would have arrived about 1858 if she had been here 48 years..... but if she was only 21 when she married, her birth date would be about 1844 have you seen Hector's 'Letters of Administration' record online?? He was a farmer at Crossley ...let me know if you need the link...it wasn't finalised until 1887 Mary's Will is also there - you may find the childrens' as well - I haven't looked that far..you should also be able to work out which children survived...Mary Jane was illiterate...as she could only make her 'mark' rather than sign With regards the people Mary Jane H was boarding with in 1861 - I found some more info - they are Alexander McGREW who married Elizabeth DAVIS 1850 in Liverpool - he died 1881- they didn't have any children it seems I have just waded through all the passenger records again - this time for a time frame rather than a name..and found these: Name: Miss Hamilton Arrival Date: May 1859 Arrival Port: Melbourne, Australia Departure Port: Liverpool Ship: Marco Polo Nationality: English Name: Miss Hamilton Arrival Date: 19 Jul 1857 Arrival Port: Melbourne, Australia Departure Port: Liverpool Ship: Royal Charter Nationality: Scottish "SS Royal Charter" left Liverpool 15/5/1857, and arrived Melbourne 19/7/1857- there were 400 passengers The passengers are listed in The Argus, but no initial: Monday 20 July 1857 No record on Pro Vic that I can find for this ship :-(( That ship sank in 1859 with a huge loss of life - many were men returning to England from the goldfields and had pockets full of gold found this : Name: Jno Mcleod Death Place: Penshurst, Victoria Age: 48 Father's Name: Mcleod Hector Mother's name: Mary Jane Hamilton Registration Year: 1918 Registration Place: Victoria Registration number: 14299 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1870 No will found Cheers Jocelyn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

She was married in Port Fairy, Victoria in 1865 to Hector McLeod at the age of 21. Maybe arrived about 1863 from Liverpool. Also appears that an Arthur Hamilton arrived at the same time but I then can't find any further record of him. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I too have located the last of your records. I am quite new at all this. Name: Mary Jane Hamilton Gender: Female Birth Date: 14 Feb 1839 Birth Place: Presbyterian, Brigh, Tyrone, Ireland Father's Name: John Hamilton FHL Film Number: 823750 Do you know what the FHL Film Number 823750 means? I am assuming it is a file number where I could order the actual certificate but not sure how to go about it. I have the marriage certificate that indicates Mary Jane married Hector McLeod in Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia on the 14th of February 1865. The marriage certificate says Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Somerville as the her parents. I will take a look at the record indicating she may have visited England. Could be her! This is why I get so confused!!! Ahh one day maybe it will be all revealed. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: Sad_Mushroom Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.oceania.australia.vic.general/10948.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, Rule of thumb is to pay more attention to the information provided on a marriage certificate rather than a death certificate. Mary would have provided the info about her birth and parents on the marriage cert and should certainly know better than anyone else when she was born and who her parents were. You don't state what you are looking for but I gather it is more info on her parenrs etc..For that you would have more luck posting on the Irish Boards as they may have access to resources that we in Australia do not.
