- parents Alexander and Ann MALCOLM

Alexander senior died Dec Q 1883 Dublin South (Age 44) vol.2 page 572

Not a common name so hopefully there wont be to many of them.

If i have the right one it appears he was still alive in 1930

Now, that is interesting, gibbo.

When Alexander senior died Ann and 5 of 9 children came to Queensland.

Three of those four have since been found in Queensland but not in shipping records.

Trying to find Annie's maiden name.

There may or may not be a connection between the families.

Family from Argyleshire, Scotland

Anne 20 is a daughter

John 38 is single and from the same county but not listed as part of family.

And probably not the one who died in 1930.

Hi Dave,

Did Alexander marry Janet and have children Alexander and John? Just looking through the elctorial register for NSW.

 

[juliejtp]

If it is him he is on the 1958 electorial register.

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello Julie,

Sorry, but I have no idea. Don't even know if he was the only one of 9 children who never made it to Australia - he may have followed his father into coal mining in Ireland - or if he did end up here.

I don't even have confirmation of his birth date yet that came to me via family history.

The only Alexander I have in Australia is the grandson Alexander William born 23 Aug 1902 in Brisbane.

Regards,

Dave

NSW Marriage 8121/1902 MCLUCKIE ALEXANDER - HAWTHORNE MARGARET MC L - SYDNEY

By the number in the index there must be more than two different McLUCKIE families in Australia.


No sign of Alexander b. 1869 in the 1901 or 1911 Irish census.

Just wondering why William Kerr Mcluckie and Alice crossing from Canda to the US in 1938 could be buisness, it dose'nt say that they are visiting.

 

[juliejtp]

Hi Dave,

Queensland passenger list.

A Mcluckie age 18/born abt 1869
Departure London England
Port of arrival Brisbane
Arrival date 5 May 1887
Ship name Dorunda

Also travelling at the same time is a Richard Mcluckie age 23/born abt 1864 - same details as above. As there isnt any image I cant check for errors.

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Julie.

That's news to me. Perhaps business since he was a merchant.

[DaveHam9]

Hello Julie,

Thanks.

McLUCKIE A (Mr) 18 Dorunda 5 May 1887 IMM/122 97 Z1963 M1702, M1703

McLUCKIE Richard 23 Dorunda 5 May 1887 IMM/122 97 Z1963 M1702, M1703

Age fits but perhaps an error with Richard. I'll view the films next time I'm at the library. However, those records are very poor quality and difficult to read.

If they turn out to be the right ones then we are left with two arrivals still to find:

Elizabeth (Bessie) b. 1865
Jane/Janie/Jeanie b. 1867

Regards,

Dave

Thanks gibbo.

That's the earliest date we have so far for Bessie and 9 Sep 1890 for Jeanie.

 

[gibbo]

Wonder if this could be Elizabeth [Bessie] arrival

The North Queensland Register (Townsville, Qld. : 1892 - 1905)
Wednesday 31 August 1892

August 28-Arawatta, 8, Captain F G Lee, from Northern ports. Passengers -MrsHoare and family; Miss McLuckie ; His Honor justice iNoel; Messrs B Murray, Vetter, " Biley, G E Boyd, etc etc

I'll go and check and see if there is a age etc on the index.

 

[gibbo]

I think the Arawatta might have been a boat that just ran around in Aussie waters

 

[DaveHam9]

This is curious.

In Normanton John [LEDLIE] was employed by Burns, Philip & Co. In 1891 after a short term at the company’s branches in Thursday Island and Port Moresby, New Guinea he moved to Herberton where he joined the staff of Jack & Newell (established 1882). Also on the staff there were sisters Annie (from an Irish record “Go Lucky”) and Elizabeth Kerr (Bessie) McLuckie, both milliners.

We have Annie:

McLuckie Annie 17 13 Oct 1888 'Jumna' IMM/123 Z1964, M1703/1704

So if the sisters were working in the same town in the same office I presume they arrived in N Qld. together. ???
