Only child found so far:

James' last address Lyons Street Ballarat.
Occupation Draper
Death Reg# 287
Surname: MCCOUBRIE
Given Names: James
Event: Death
Father: John Alexander
Mother: Margaret
Age: 19
***: Male
Birth Place: BELFAST
Death Place: BALLARAT
Year: 1872
Reg Number: 287
This is the only one that seems to match:
Church Baptism McCoubrie James 1853 Co. Antrim
McCoubrie James 1853 Parish: ST ANNE'S, SHANKILL (CI)
However it gives 'no match' if I enter any of the following for father's name: John, Jo, Alex, Alexr, Alexander.
I can't find a birth in Ireland or a death in Ireland or Australia for John (middle name possibly Alexander) McCoubrie (yes I know there are many variations of this family name), nor can I find a shipping record for the family except for this possible one:
Index to Unassisted Inward Passenger Lists to Victoria 1852-1923
Family First Name Age Month Year Ship Port Fiche Page
NOV 1863 COMMODORE PERRY B 226 006
MCCOMBRIE JAMES 9
MCCOMBRIE LINDEN 7
MCCOMBRIE MARGT 32
There is no sign of a birth in Ireland or a marriage or a death in Victoria for Linden. I can't even tell if that is a different family possibly even from Scotland.
Margaret's father James HAMILTON died about 1867 and her mother Ellen/Helen (nee NEWELL) also about 1867. I don't know where they may have married, Antrim or Down and I'd guess they both died in Down. It seems James and his sons were farmers in Ballykine. I have more information on two of the sons, John and William, which I can supply if it will help.
