Unfortunately cannot find anything for George Thomas, have you any idea when he was born? There are a few unlikely George Rogersons.

Just seen your requests, but at work at present and cannot check, will check later for you.

Kate, FMP only has lists post 1890, so he may not be showing.

Hi Keith, can I take you up on your kind offer?
Im trying to find out when Andrew McIntyre born in Scotland 1866 would have went out to Queensland, it would have been before 1891 as thats when he married over there.

Kate

Sorry to be a nuisance and say if you do not want to look, I have got a letter from Australia today with other details I am looking for a passage for Jean Morrison Rogerson/George Thomas Rogerson she was born 1889 Scotland between 1910/1920, also I have now found than Mary Helen Reid went out on her own in 1921 and Alexander the year after in 1922. I would be very grateful for a lookup. Sheila

Thanks for that and must be same family but we have got Alexander in Binalong N.S.W in 1924 however we are not sure if they went to Australia together or seperately we know Alexander was still in Edinburgh in 1919 and we think she was still in Scotland 1916 there is a marraige in Hornsby Australia in 1922 maybe they came back for a visit or maybe JEan Stewart Reid came back with them. Sorry Sheila You are a star.
