There has been some mixed information in Australia about the son of Archibald and Flora McMillan (nee McIntyre), Angus. Angus' parents left Oskamull and went to Portland, Victoria Australia in 1853 on the New Zealander. Their son Angus was reported to have left for Victoria before them and I have now obtained his death certificate and have confirmed which of the two possible Angus McMillans was the one related our family. Daryl from the Ballarat Genealogical Society has provided me with the following. I am wondering if anyone knows on which ship Angus may have travelled to Australia, given that it seems from his death certificate that he came in abt 1841. Angus' son John McMillan was the informant at his death. He was a farmer at Burrawang, New South Wales Regards to all, Libby McMillan ======================================================================== ======== Husband: Angus McMILLAN ======================================================================== ======== Born: 1823 - Oskamull, Isle Of Mull, Argyllshire (Arl), Scotland (1) Christened: Died: 17 Jan 1902 - Natimuk (Co Lowan), Victoria, Australia (2) Buried: 18 Jan 1902 - Harrow Cemetery, Victoria, Australia (3) Father: Archibald McMILLAN (1776-1871) Mother: Flora McINTYRE (1781-1870) Marriage: Abt 1852 Place: Melbourne, Victoria (Vic), Australia (3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Events ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Residence, 1823 - Oskamull, Isle Of Mull, Argyllshire (Arl), Scotland Immigration, Abt 1841 - Port Phillip District, Colony Of New South Wales Residence, Abt 1852 - Melbourne, Victoria (Vic), Australia Residence, 1854 - Prahran (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia Residence, 1872 - Branxholme, Victoria, Australia Residence, 1878 - Coleraine (Co Dundas), Victoria, Australia Residence (4) - Charam Parish (Nr Edenhope), Victoria, Australia Residence, 1902 - Natimuk (Co Lowan), Victoria, Australia ======================================================================== ======== Wife: Mary Ann McKEAN ======================================================================== ======== Born: Abt 1835 Christened: Died: 1899 - Harrow (Glenelg River), Victoria, Australia (5) Buried: Father: Henry McKEAN (Abt 1810- ) Mother: Alicena HARVEY (Abt 1810- ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Events ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Residence, 1872 - Branxholme, Victoria, Australia Residence, 1878 - Coleraine (Co Dundas), Victoria, Australia Residence (4) - Charam Parish (Nr Edenhope), Victoria, Australia Residence, 1899 - Harrow (Glenelg River), Victoria, Australia ======================================================================== ======== Elizabeth McMillan (Samoa) AH - jeanolive@samoa.ws (+685 29585) BH - elizabeth_mcmillan@coffey.com (+685 29 832) (note there is no 'au' at the end of this address) Australian & ongoing contact details: Ongoing email: libbymcm@tpg.com.au PO Box 435, Elwood, Victoria 3184 Australia Tel: +61 3 9531 9372; Fax: +61 3 9531 9347 Harry Petras' mobile: +61 417 032 076 My mobile - when in Australia: +61 417 577 529 HARRY'S NEW EMAIL ADDRESS: hpetras@optusnet.com.au
