    1. [A.G.R. ] Immigration to NSW - LEIGHTON & DAVIS - 1830s?
    2. PMR
    3. Hello Listers I'm enquiring for a cousin in Edinburgh - who kindly looks things up at New Register House for me! Robert LEIGHTON married Elizabeth Smart DAVIS in NSW (in the Bathurst area) in 1838. In reply to a previous posting, I was sent details of the marriage record and the baptisms of the children. However, both were born in Scotland (whence they returned some 10 years and six children later). Is there someone who would be going to the State Archives (I'm not sure what it is called these days) repository at the Rocks, soon, who could check the Immigration Index to see when either or both of these people came to Australia, please? I'm afraid I don't know the names of either set of parents. I do know, however, that Robert was born in 1810, so is not at all likely to be the convict who arrived in the "Agamemnon" in 1820 following conviction in the south of England. Elizabeth's birth could have been as late as 1820, making her about 18 at marriage. Of course, she may have been older. I'm guessing at arrivals in the 1830s. Many thanks.
