i'd like some help with catherine matheson please. she was born roughly 1833/4 on the isle of skye, from her certs. catherine emmigrated to victoria from scotland around 1854, from her death cert. she married dugald campbell in casterton on 23 aug 1857, her parents were recorded as alexander matheson, store keeper and mary mcpherson. she died on 25 dec 1867, casterton, from a botched abortion, parents listed as alexander and anne matheson, store keeper.
dugald was a good friend of my 5th great grandfather farquhar matheson (1792-1883), he is mentioned in his will, estate papers, and i even have a photo of dugald. when i found out he married a matheson, well catherine must be a relation of farquhar's even if it 2-3 generations back.
i have this family on the 'arabian' in 1854, which might be catherine:
MATHESON Marian 44 Glenhinnisdale Lord MacDonald
577 Flora 24
Alexander 23
Catherine 20
Marian 17
Catherine 14
Margaret 10
Christy 5
Marian a widow. Very poor family P/N £25-2-7
i cant locate catherine in 1841 for sure. the closest i can get is an alexander 'independant' with a mary and bunch of kids including a catherine, living in killearnan district, town of tore, but catherine is 4 b.1837, which doesn't fit.
is anyone able to locate the family on the 'arabian' in 1851 on ancestry? and see if it might be catherine?
