Hello Val,

Thank you very much for taking the time to find all that.

My connection is the LEDLIE & McLUCKIE marriage and then the John Malcolm LEDLIE to Olive HAINES one.

Thomas married Mary Kerr 3 Jan 1894 Prahan Vic

.. married as Blandford or using her maiden name Kerr?

Can a death for Patrick be found?

We don't have a definite arrival for Joseph Kerr. Do we know if he married in Victoria?

Can the birth in Victoria for Mary Kerr be confirmed?

Regards,

Dave

The fiche of the shiping record for 'Almora' only lists occupation as Ag lab and that the family was from Scotland.
