I found the arrival of Archie many months ago when we were first starting out so now think that must be wrong. Since I first wrote the original post, we've found Janet's death certificates and some of her children's birth certificates which all say they were married in Sydney in 1851. I'm more inclined to believe the original documents are correct which would mean that we have the wrong Archie arriving into Melbourne in 1852. Bugger. I have already discounted the Janet that we found in 1841 - she doesn't seem to fit. We too have wondered if she married previously but she was still quite young when she did marry Archie - not that that matters I suppose. Then there is her death certifcate that states her mother was someone Fraser. Yes I think Jessie's age is a couple of years out. She's in George's (b 1854) birth certificate as being 18 months old so that ties in with her being born in 1852 - the other siblings BC's all show her age as if she were born in 1852. I'm actually in New Zealand not Australia but will let my mother know about the WHo do you think programme as she will be most interested. Will keep looking today for Janet and Archie - thanks again for your help! Fiona Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
