Hi Jenny My great x 4 grandparents were Robert Garrett (Girret, Gerrat etc) and Elizabeth Milvain. He was a farmer in Inch and they married in 1779. One of their sons, Rev James Garrett (b. 1794) came out to Australia (Van Diemen's Land) in 1828. Other siblings were John (1782), Sarah (1784), Helen (1786 and 1790), William (1788), Andrew (1796), and Robert (1798). Robert the son was a doctor and came out to VDL in 1824 as an assistant surgeon. I would love to know if Robert was one of the subscribers. Would also love to know if there are any descendents still in Scotland Kind Regards Rosie (Brisbane Australia) At 12:55 PM 11/09/2010, you wrote: >Today's Topics: > > 1.
