I saw your earlier post on Linden, but where did the info come from?

 

[DaveHam9]

One piece I can't get because I'm not a member of Genealogical Society of Victoria:

GSV - Non-member search
McCOUBRIE, M Ballarat Gazetted 22/01/1869

 

[DaveHam9]

Age in 1886 is on Margaret's death certificate. Pob was from a search for a birth that fitted. Place of birth, 20 years in Victoria, place of marriage, age 22 when she married then listed spouse and all children of marriage.

 

[DaveHam9]

Putting 'margaret mccoubrie/mccoubry/mccoubrey/mc coubrie' in TROVE gets no hits.

 

[horse]

Yeah, surprisingly little even for 'McCoubrie'

Where does 'Alexander' fit in?

Footscray, Geelong and Collingwood have a link, but I'm not seeing it

 

[DaveHam9]

Looks like a different family:

DEATHS
McCOUBRIE.-On the 12th April, at Berwick,
George Alexander McKinley, youngest son of

McCoubrie, aged 52 years.

Nothing indicating children of a Mr L. McCoubrie.


My branch was around Gordon, Burrumbeet, Ballarat, Bungaree, ...

Thanks for looking Geoff.

I can't see how there is a connection with the date 1865.

Time to move on.

Yeah, another one for the back burner
