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!

Thanks to everyone who has replied, this has given me more to go on with! :-)

The baptism for Sarah is brilliant, thanks allotment. Robert Wilkins Giblin had about 11 children, and brought them out to VDL with him and his wife in 1827...thinking they didn't have more when they got there, but who knows! (Have to feel sorry for women of that era!)

I don't understand the 1841 census for the children - who are they with? Are they related? What is Academy Square - is that a school? though I notice that it is the same place Alexander snr died...

cupcakes, can you see any children born to Alexander & Sarah in Tasmania?

Wm Vincent's marriage notice states he was the 3rd son of Capt Duthie, so they must have got started soon after they married! :-D I think perhaps that is where Alexander jnr was born.

Hi Cherilyn,

none under that spelling....now my computer keeps dropping out., but as soon as I can I will try under different combinations...

ANDERSON James M 5 Outside Census County (1841)
INGRAM Agnes F 20 Female Servant Outside Census County (1841)

Cherilyn.

Acadamy Square ,,,,,seems it was attached to the Navy........a barracks type place? Mushall Aberdeenshire. the children were possibly boarded there with a nanny which is possibe for a Sea. Captain

---Mushall-----is the place mentioned in Wills for Inventory Alexander Duthie residing at Clayford Mushall.......! :-D

Thanks again, Kay...1847 for the will matches with the year Alexander snr died.

Though I am not sure if Academy Square in Montrose is the same as the one you mention in Abderdeenshire? The census places them definitely in Montrose. This is also the address of Montrose Academy though I am thinking the census list would be longer if it was a boarding school. ??
