A distant cousin in Australia is trying to track an ancestral uncle: James Cuthbertson, son of Robert Cuthbertson and Ellen Riddeles/Helen Riddel, James Cuthbertson, born 9-3-1817 at Glassford, Lanarkshire. He seems to have gone out to Australia at the same time as his sister Janet in 1854. Family lore indicates that she emigrated with her brother, but lost contact with him during the gold rushes and never saw him again. Both James Cuthbertson, age 37, and Janet Cuthbertson, age 23, appear on the passenger list of the “Storm Cloud” which arrived in Port Philip Bay (for Geelong and Melbourne) in December 1854. He is described as a quarryman on the ship list. Records show that a James Cuthbertson, a miner from Lanarkshire, died at Carngham (near Ballerat) on 8 March 1859. (Age listed as 45, but info. otherwise matches what is known.) My cousin has come across two others from the Victorian records. The information concerns: 1. The James Cuthbertson who married Jessie Watson at Spring Hill, Pentland Hills, Victoria Australia on 22 November 1859 came from North Sunderland, England, with parents George Cuthbertson, a fishmonger, and Elizabeth Wattles. 2. James Cuthbertson, age 34, who died on 1 July 1855, on a ship the K???? (Kunzi??) which had left Calcutta in June and arrived in Hobson’s Bay in 12th September. He was a married tradesman with two children. Any information on any of these James C's is welcome. Ken Cuthbertson Albuquerque, NM
