HI Jenny & Mike, Trove is so well named. You won't be surprised to learn that I've spent a lot of time playing around with various search terms. I have found lots of David's family, but little regarding him. From the marriage notice of his daughter Jane, I know that he had died prior to Feb 1865. One item re country teachers in South Australia on Trove, from the Adelaide Times 14 Feb 1853, includes: David Mackie, 18 boys, 15 girls, Strathalbyn. There are quarterly teachers listings, and David MacKIE is listed at Strathalbyn from June 1852 through June 1853. No further listing of him. I have wondered if he became ill, and that it was him who died in 1855, but I don't have any evidence to support that speculation. I don't think Sands & McDougall began publishing in South Australia until 1884, but there are some early directories on Findmypast. The coverage details don't look promising, but this is on my 'to do' list - awaiting my next library visit. On Trove, there are lots of mentions of another David MacKIE who lived not far from Strathalbyn - at Port Elliot. He was a saddler and often referred to by his full name of David Manson MacKIE, but many of his mentions have taken up a lot of my time. Daughter Jane remained in South Australia, but wife Dorothy and the other children all moved to Victoria, I think about 1871. Son William Miller MacKIE had run a business in Strathalbyn until he became insolvent in 1868. He subsequently studied at Melbourne University and became a Minister. He moved a lot, finally to Subiaco, Western Australia, where he died. There are numerous mentions of him on Trove. Dorothy's death was reported in the Wigtown Free Press: M’KIE/MacFIE, Dorothea - D23/10/1882 - At Moorside, Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia, on the 23rd October, Dorothea Macfie, widow of the late David M'Kie, formerly schoolmaster in Sorbie, Wigtownshire, aged 72 years. A pity the WFP didn't report the death of her husband. Dorothy was buried in the Oakleigh Pioneers Cemetery. There is another MacKIE family buried there, and they were from Kirkcowan parish, Wigtownshire. I have tried to establish a link between them and David MacKIE, but with no success. In fact, it was their headstone which caught my eye in the first place, curiosity got the better of me, and I've become terribly side-tracked.

Jenny I do not know very much about SA history - coming from Queensland - could he have moved "up country"? Or could he and his family have moved to Victoria or NSW, with the Gold Rush? 2) Did they have an SA Sands Directory or Post Office Directory in this period? 3) And would SA records have any Teachers Listings for this period?

Hi Mary, Thanks for your interest. He was living in Sorbie Village in the 1841 census. That fits with him as being the parochial schoolmaster, given that the parish school was then at the north end of Sorbie Village.. From the OPR, 1838: "Mackie / David / Parochial Schoolmaster, & Dorothy Fee Octr 29th at Garlieston" The McFEEs lived at Garlieston. Dorothy's father, Peter, was a mariner. Apart from the Statistical Accounts, I'm unaware of any other records of the Sorbie parish school, From the 1845 account, "The parochial teacher possesses the legal accommodations. His salary is L. 25, 13s. 3 3/4d. ; and school fees may be rated at L. 64 per annum." There is more, including details of subject, 4 other schools in the parish, and some scathing comments about the Irish, but the schoolmaster is not named. As David & Dorothy's youngest, William Miller MacKIE, was born in the parish 20 Jun 1845, I think its safe to assume that David was still the schoolmaster then. From the marriage proclamation record, we know he was the schoolmaster on 29 Oct 1838, but not when he was appointed. Although it has little to do with why I am researching this family, it seems that David MacKIE may have taught my g'grandfather. It is likely that he did teach my g'grandfather's 3 younger siblings. I have been unable to find an official record of death for David MacKIE, nor an obituary or burial record. There is a website with lots of information on South Australian pioneers. An entry there has a David MacKIE who died in 1855, and this is a very strong possibility. I've been in touch with the site owner, but he doesn't have a record of the source of that item. The only age I have for him is 35 on the 1841 census. The simple math would suggest he was born between 1801 and 1806, but knowing how the folk back then fibbed about their age, its possible he was born before 1801.

Hello Bruce What a pity David didn't stay in Scotland long enough to be on the 1851 census. I don't think there were all that many MacKies in the Ayrshire area in the early 1800s so the one born to Gilbert could well have been him but more proof is needed. What did the David Mackie in South Australia die of? Was the age right? I wonder whether there are any school records for Garlieston which I think is where he taught - or Sorbie. I haven't had much success looking for school records but it may be worth a try. Cheers, Mary

Mary and Kay, Firstly Kay, I will have to forward my CARNIE/CAIRNIE/CAIRNEY/(KEARNEY 1871 census) family (a different line to yours) together with my MILLIGANs, HILLHOUSEs (a line different to the one on your pages), PARKs, TEMPLETONs, McNEIL(L)s plus associated marriages etc. I'm very much the same areas as Mary describes. Secondly Mary, SLOANs....my Agnes Neill HILLHOUSE b 1837 mar 1857 George BROWN b 1834, his parents were Mungo BROWN and Sarah SLOAN. Without checking back through a mile of papers on this family who migrated to the Colony of New South Wales 1858, I believe one of the SLOANs came out earlier and George and Agnes joined him in working the land in the central west of NSW.

I have had a positive response from Debbie Rea, and will phone my 3rd cousin today/tonight. Murray Reid NZ

I have reason to believe that two REID family bibles exist and have a hunch that the same person (or close family) in Edinburgh may hold them. My hope is that these bibles will prove the link back to Thomas Reid (1667-1733) whose prominent grave is in the Auld Kirk, Alloway. The bibles concerned belonged to the following father and son. Hugh Reid (1753-1831) of "Cultezeoun" and James Hamilton Reid (1795-1858) of "Broomknowes" Both properties are just south of Maybole. I seek a lister who may reside in Edinburgh to help me track down and make contact with an individual in that city. I have the name and address of my 3rd cousin but would like a phone number, and or email address please. Can you help. Murray Reid Tuakau NZ +6492368019

I found Sorn grave records on Find A Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records  I did a cemetery search and put Sorn in the place for name of cemetery.  The records aren't the ones from the grave stones, and rarely give the birth date, and the entire Murdoch family didn't seem to be on it.
