Hello Christine, Time for me to repay the favours! I've had a look at the Australian Vital Records Index which covers New South Wales (1788-1888), Tasmania (1803-1899), Victoria (1837-1888) and West Australia (1841-1905). Unfortunately could not come up with anything positive. If there had been a death record it may have listed his father's name or place of birth however these indexes are by no means conclusive. I am planning a day at the local Genealogical Society library soon so I will have a look at the records they have.

Frances (in Australia) - We have Calders, too, from Sutherlandshire. They start with John CALDER, b. 1801 in Swordale, who married Margaret McLEOD in 1825 in Tulloch. They had Janet, George, Anne, James, Donald, Christena, Jessie, Georgina, Margaret and John. Their son, James CALDER, b. 1832 in Creich, married our Johanne McKAY in 1862. They had Margaret, Christena, John, William, James, Donald, Isabella and Jesse. John and Margaret are buried in N. Embro Cemetery in Oxford Co., Ontario. James and Johanne went to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and are buried there. Could there be any connection with your Calders? Regards, Diane Geddes ------- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
