The McMillan-McPherson marriage cited here for 1826 may well be the correct one. But the Catherine McMillan in the original post seems to have been born in Yan Yean (a hamlet 30 miles north of Melbourne) about 1828 and died there, 8.8.1912. She married James Johnstone, also of Yan Yean. I doubt her brother was born back in Scotland the next year. Note that the mother of the John McMillan mentioned was a McKenzie, not a McPherson. Maybe more than one Donald McMillan in town? And more than one John, but not in the same hemisphere? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
