Hi Everyone
Just by chance:
Does anyone know of any old letters written from Australia to family in Scotland (or other
parts of the world) from the Alexander CAMERON family (wife - Anne Henderson) or the
Archibald HENDERSON (wife Christina Cameron).
Alexander CAMERON's parents were Donald CAMERON and Janet McKINNON living around
Ballachulish in 1839.
Anne HENDERSON and her brother Archibald HENDERSON's parents were Alexander HENDERSON
and Flora CAMPBELL of Ballachulish in 1854.
Donald CAMERON (son of Alexander and Anne Cameron) and wife Christina WHITE (d/o David
WHITE and Flora HENDERSON), used to write letters to relatives in Scotland in 1800's.
And so did his son, Alexander CAMERON (and his wife Suzannah (Lily) ALLAN) in the early
1900's.
Were they writing to Cameron's, Henderson's, McKinnon's, Campbell's,
White's or Allan's?
The Alexander Cameron family were at St. Helliers, Muswellbrook in 1839 to early
1840's. Then to Penshurst Estate, Upper Paterson in the early 1840's until 1854.
They settled a farm on Marlee, near Wingham, New South Wales, Australia in 1854.
The Archibald Henderson family came to Australia in 1854 and settled in Marlee near his
sister.
Do any of these names fit in your family somewhere?
Kind regards
