April Research
My April research has been on my husband's Paternal side, focusing on Edith Pearl Amelia Millar's line. It goes like this; Hubby, Patrick MAGILL, Edith Pearl Amelia MILLAR, (her maternal line goes back to John NICHOLS, Scarborough, First Fleet), Ralph MILLAR, and his parents James MILLAR and Marion BROWN. Ralph and his wife, Amelia Jane HUGHES had six children; Marion b 1880, Henry b 1882, Florence b 1884, Edith b 1885, Ruby b 1889 and Constance b 1892. I have search for and found marriages and on some lines children for all of the six children. While researching Ralph I made and interesting discovery about his parents, James and Marion. (It pays to re-read documents.) Their marriage has James listed as Free and Marion as Bond. Using their death certificates I worked out the possible years of arrival and looking a several data bases found that they were both convicts. James arrived in 1828 on the Speke. Marion and her sister Caroline arrived in 1833 on the Numa. T
