JEFFREY family

[DaveHam9]

Margaret Jeffrey b. 1 Oct 1843 Duns, Berwick
George Jeffrey & Alison Laidlaw

I've not found any of them in shipping records yet. Margaret married in NSW in 1867.

I'd like a look up please for the family in 1841, 1851 and 1861.

FreeCEN has zero coverage.

Thanks,

Dave

There is a tree, but they have the family in 1851 census (no Alison and Margaret b. Glasgow), and has them arriving NSW 1849, not conclusive but worth checking.

This is the 1849 arrival..

Unassisted:
Mr Jeffrey
Port of Departure: Port Phillip
Port of Arrival: Port Jackson, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 30 Dec 1849
Vessel Name: Indus

The tree has George's parents as Peter and Mary S... if it can be proved, this may be George's death.

Allison's death is right, but George says he comes from Berwickshire in 1841, so the contributed birth entry may well be wrong

Yeah, the 1849 arrival is now looking good, though it was unassisted

The newspaper article on the arrival of the ship doesnt give anything up neither, just state Mr and Mrs Jeffrey and family.

Yeah, not 100% - I can't see anything else in Scotland after 1848
