Hello All
December & January have slipped by and with a household of visiting family for both months found family research was on hold. I have now put in order all the information provided by members of this list and research done based on advice and self-initiated and really believe my puzzle has been solved - the coincidences are many - I have documented supporting and questioning evidence and am wondering if there is anyone who could cast an eye over this and give me their assessment. I have not found her entering Australia and it looks like this will be a large task and require a trip to Sydney to start. I am happy to send in a Word doc should anyone be prepared to do so. With thanks Anne Wiltshire

Remind us of the possible entry dates to Oz, particularly whether before of after 1890. If the latter it may be possible to spot her in the passenger lists leaving the UK.

Hi mb
Thank you if my assumptions are correct Christina would have left Scotland after the 1871 Census and arrived before her marriage on 16 Feb 1877 - my feeling is she may have left after the death of her mother's sister Margaret Campbell (nee Gow) on 9 Feb 1874 and this would fit in with an estimated time of 10 years in the Colony as stated on Christina's Death Certificate (Australian).
Lesley thank you for posting previous correspondence I probably would have retyped.
