Hi List Just joined. I am researching the background of Archibald McINTYRE, his wife Flora, nee McLEAN and their children. Various sources indicate that Archibald and Flora would have married around the mid 1830s but does not tell where. The 1841 census shows: Archibald and Flora, both aged 30 Angus 6 Mary 4 Hector 2 Archibald 1 month Information to date indicates that the children were born in either Kilninian or Tobermory - but that is not entirely clear. The 1851 census shows: Archibald 40 Flora 38 Mary 14 Hector 12 Archibald 10 John 8 Christina 6 Donald 4 William 2 Angus does not appear in 1851. May have left home or has possibly died. Strangely though, he does not appear as a child of this couple on their death certificates. Later information states that all children after Archibald were born in Ardnamurchan but not the precise location. Neither Donald nor William survived childhood nor did a later sibling, George. There was an even later child, a second William, who did. Archibald, a blacksmith, Flora, Mary, Hector, Archibald, John, Christina and the second William migrated to Geelong, Victoria, aboard the "Hornet", arriving in October 1854. I would love to hear from anyone with an interest in, or knowledge of, this family. the older of the tworobbos at Bairnsdale, Victoria, OZ
