I need information on John Macgillivray and his wife Frances who immigrated to South Africa from Dingwall (near Inverness) in 1859. They were accompanied by their four children, Margaret, James Finlayson, and Frances. John was a cabinet maker and the family settled at Fort Beaufort, not far from Port Elizabeth where they landed on May 10th 1859. I feel sure that the family was still in Scotland that the time of the census.. I understand that Finlayson (my ggrandfather) was about 8 when they arrived in South Africa. He was the third child so guessing Frances and John could have been married around 1842-47. I am not having any luck searching in South Africa at this stage. Any information would be greatly appreciated, I'm really stuck on this one!
