i have mary matheson, b.1822 applecross, scotland daughter of dugald matheson and beatrix mckenzie, who must have died not long after, as all her children say their mother is dugalds second wife rebecca mclennan. she emmigrated to victoria in 1853, aboard the new zealander, with her brother alexander and sister rebecca, and their aunt and uncle, both were mathesons, so which side they fit on is still a mystery.
mary reid nee matheson died on 7th june 1897, in penshurst, victoria, not far from hamilton, where the rest of the family settled. her parents were dugald matheson and rebecca mclelland. her husbands name was andrew ross reid, and they married c.1856 in port fairy according to the cert.
i can find no evidence of the marriage. i was wondering if i gave the childrens names and years of birth, if somone could look them up on the vic cds, and tell me what the fathers name is, so i can track the marriage cert?
the kids were: eliza dead in 1897, john 38 b.1859, mary 35 b.1862 and isabella 32 b.1865
