Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4,065 Send Message	Hoping sks can please help with Alexander DUTHIE b. c1799, most likely Montrose in Scotland. He was a sea captain. Also births/christenings of his children with wife Sarah Wilkins GIBLIN (who he married in Tasmania in 1828 on one of his trips there; I have the notice). Known children born in Montrose are Adam Gordon b. 1837 and Wm Vincent b. 1834. Others born in Tasmania I think. Their deaths - Alex'r died in Montrose and Sarah in Hobart, Tasmania: Launceston Examiner, Saturday 6 March 1847 DIED-At his house, Academy Square, Montrose, on the 30th Sept., Captain Alexander Duthie, aged 48-late of the ship Java of London, much and deservedly regretted. The Courier (Hobart), Tuesday 3 April 1855 DEATHS. On Monday evening, the 2nd April, at 13, Melville-street, aged fifty years, Sarah Wilkins, relict of the late Captain Alexander Duthie, of Aberdeen, North Britain. Sarah's father was Robert Wilkins GIBLIN who ran the King's Male Orphan School in early VDL; she was his eldest daughter, but not sure where she was born. They arrived in Tasmania on the Sir Chas Forbes in 1827 (Alexander was captain!). Thank you!
