Hi June, My McInnes family is from Kintra. This family has been found on the 1841 Census for Iona. They are listed as living at Kintra in house number 28. Dugald MacInnes, age 30, Boatman, born in Parish Mary, age 30, born in Parish Christina, age 9, born in Parish Mary, age 6, born in parish Sandy [Alexander], age 2, born in Parish Duncan, age 7 months, born in Parish The family arrived in Australia at 6pm on the 7 January, 1849 aboard the Maitland. She sailed from Gravesend then Plymouth, England on the 14 September, 1848. It is listed in Book 4, page 194 on the Assisted British Immigration Register. There is also a duplicate listing with the same names and ages on page 206. This second entry is the "Disposal List of the Immigrants Per the Ship Maitland". Listed family members are: 1. Dugald McInnes - 36 years, Labourer. 2. Mary McInnes - 34 years, Housekeeper. 3. Mary McInnes - 13 years 4. Alexander McInnes - 10 years 5. Duncan McInnes - 8 years 6. John McInnes - 6 years 7. Janet McInnes 1 year None of the family could read or write. They are listed as Presbyterian and they brought with them a Gaelic Testament. Their native place and Country was Ross, Argyllshire. It seems that the family settled in the Wangaratta, Victoria, area after arriving in Australia and during the early 1850's Dougal had a bootmaker's shop at Milawa adjoining the Emu Hotel. It is not known when he would have learnt this trade. A death certificate has been found that would appear to be that of our Dougal but we cannot be definite about it. The information on it is very limited. He died on the 4th April 1896 at the Ovens Benevolent Asylum in Beechworth. He was 81 years old. It tells us he was a Shoemaker and that he was born in Scotland. It states that he had been in the colony for 49 years. The information was given by Ernest Flood, Sergeant of Police, Beechworth. He states that he was married but has no further details. Unfortunately he did not know any details about his father or mother either. Mary's death certificate states that she was born in Rossmull, Scotland. On close inspection of the children's names it would seem that it is our Mary . The year of birth is only an estimate from her age at death. The age could be listed wrongly. If it is correct then she was 7 years older than Dougal. If the marriage entry is correct for Mary and Dougal then Christina was probably born prior to the marriage. Christina is not listed on the immigration list. She would have been about 16 years old at the time so it is more than possible that she was either married before she came or came alone. Christina is listed on her mother's death certificate as 43 years old. The other children listed are Mary aged 40 years, Sandy[?] aged ? years, Duncan aged 3? years, John aged 32 years and Jessy [Jenny?] aged 30 years. It seems that Sandy is a nickname for Alexander. All the children's names and ages are a good match for the names and ages on the immigration entry. I do have further information about this family in Australia if you are interested. The second daughter in this family, Mary, was my great, great grandmother. Good luck with your research. I would be very interested in any thing you can tell me about Kintra and the families there. Kind regards Joy [Australia]
