Not sure, gibbo. I'll have to search the queries to see if a look up has been done for 1861 or not.


EDIT: None of them can be found in 1861 - not even the three who left in 1864.

So your Robert Anderson snr married a Mary Murray in 1864

1323/1864 ANDERSON ROBERT MURRAY MARY ALBURY

This dont help any with his arrival but i thought it was interesting. A Mary Murray had someone on the same Ship as the Anderson's.

The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954)
Tuesday 19 January 1864

Name of immigrant ..............Name of Depositor
ANDERSON Robert ................... Robert Anderson
Emma ................... ditto
Esther ................... ditto
ANDREWS Patrick ................. Mary Murray

I mean I have no knowledge of it or nothing that says he did.

I don't suppose that marriage is in TROVE.

No mention of a spouse:

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848-1954) - Tuesday 22 October 1889 p.1
DEATHS
ANDERSON.-On the 19th inst., at the residence of his son-in-law, John Abbott, of Montague-street, Albert-park, Robert Anderson, of Manchester, England, upholsterer, in his 75th year. Father of Robert and Charles Thomas Anderson, and Emma (Mrs. Abbott) and Esther Wilkinson (Mrs. Williams).

Nothing in his will:

Robert Anderson Upholsterer South Melb 19 Oct 1889
The will of Robert Anderson – Montaque Street, South Melbourne
Sons Robert Anderson, Charles Thomas Anderson
Daughters Emma Abbott, Esther Wilkinson Williams
Executors of Will son Robert Anderson, son-in-law John Abbott

I cant see a marriage in Trove for Anderson and Murray. So Robert snr was in NSW but obviously moved to VIC where he died. Wonder if there is anything to this Mary Murray or just a coincidence that they both had people on the same ship and there is a marriage with the same names :confused:

I found what i think is the death for Patrick Andrews, i was hoping it might lead somewhere but his death index has no parents noted and his death in Trove says he got run over by a train but no family names etc :rolleyes:

Well, prove it. :2fun:

I'm wondering if Glebe fits. I have nothing that shows any of the family in that part of Sydney. There is a 2nd C T in NSW.

The shipping record says 'Woolloomooloo' and Palmer Street is in Woolloomooloo.

1873 N.S.W. Sands Directory
ANDERSON Charles, upholsterer, 91 Palmer st.

All technical. :2fun:

Well, I thought I had a 2nd C T but I can't prove it.

I've found him heading off to Melbourne. Mrs C T advertised for a servant.
