Don't think so Mel. Agnes was born at Dysart. I think the actual birthplace in that document would be Strathkinness. It is possible that they could have split up as a family but i'm still hopeful they remained together and emigrated. Thanks.

THAT'S THEM! Well done Christina...another record for the GR community 25 minutes from question to solution.

It has always interested me how Christian became Christine. It seems that Christian nowadays is exclusively a boys name. I had expected Australia as a destination as many Fife people and other members of the family went there.

I must get up to speed on emigration resources.

Very many thanks!

Traveling with them was also David, age 20 a farm labourer - they were presbyterian.

And well done Mel Fairy Godmother! That's a bonus. Thank you.

Thanks FLIP. At the date of departure the two remaining daughters Catharine would be 26 or 27 and Christian 22 or 23 so I will work on marriages in Scotland for them unless any more Aussie info shows up.

Will have a look, think Thomas & David were in a different part of the ship - they are recorded together on another part of the manifest.

There is an extensive tree on Ancestry, with photos and documentation. Catherine did go to Australia, she married Robert Lawrie and died there in 1894. Think the passenger I posted is the right one.

Thanks again to all. This has helped me a lot. I have an SP account so will go off and search for the two strays.

Christina went to Australia, arriving 28/9/1854, married Jonathan Cason and she died in 1916 according the the tree (Lowe family tree) on Ancestry.

Re - Catherine - Thanks Flip. I'll pencil that in as highly probable but i'm a wee bit curious as to why she waited. Maybe seeing how the rest got on! Also interesting she maried someone called Lawrie. Incidenatally it seems her mothers surname was Laurie. As is often the case it appears differently on some documents but the childrens middle names clinch it.
