Hello List, I am having a shot in the dark in relation to my Andrew (Hunter) FINLAYSON who came to Hobart in 1842. His death certificate indicates that he was born in Scotland. I have his marriage certificate which indicates he was married in London and that his father's name was Robert. I also know that he was born circa 1815 according to the shipping notice of his arrival in Hobart. Is it likely that anyone on this wonderful list is researching this family of Finlaysons. A curious thing is that when he first married he was known as Andrew Finlayson, but when he married for the 2nd time he had his name as Andrew Hunter Finlayson, and he named several of his children with this 2nd name. The following is all the information I have for Andrew: Born Scotland circa 1815 Marriage: Andrew Finlayson, bachelor, of full age, gardener - residing in Old Church Street - father Robert Finlayson, gardener Sarah Marshall, spinser, of full age - residing in Paddington Green, father John Marshall - servant They married in St James Paddington by AR Sudlow - curate and the witnesses were John White and Hannah White.

Children of 2nd marriage to Emily Eliza Drake Ruth Margaret Elizabeth Hunter Harold David Hunter Jean Vivian Hunter Lilian Elizabeth Ellen Millicent Maria Aubi Minna Lavinia Lord Death Died bn Hobart on18 May 1891.
