> Dear Robbo (the Older) We communicated in the last week or so - about our families. I do not have any parental info for Flora McMillan (nee McIntyre) - other than that which was on her death certificate - ie Mother - Christina McCormack and Father - Angus McIntyre. Given that a person named Christina McCormack is also listed as her mother-in-law on her husband's (Archibald McMillan) death certificate, it makes me wonder if the name is correct or if the memory of those who reported the deaths was not accurate. So perhaps she is the mother of either Flora McMillan (nee Mcintyre) or her husband Archibald McMillan - or perhaps there are tow women and they have the same name! Archibald McMillan and his wife Flora (nee McIntyre) travelled to Portland on the New Zealander in 1853. I have often wondered if there were any more McIntyre family members either in and around Portland - who arrived prior to or followed out Flora and her husband. I have no other info on her parents - other than that from the death certificate. I cannot find any records in the census in Mull that assist me. I think that we should keep in contact as a result of the similar given names, suggesting that their might be a connection.
