Hello distant cousin, actually i'm a Descendant of his uncle, Rev Dr William Chalmers
principal of the English Presbyterian College Church,1867 I have two family trees one
written in 1910 an one written by a relative in London England in 1962 an i have seen a
third written that was researched in around 1986 by a professional genealogist for a
relative that lived in Dunedin NZ at the time, but soon after she returned to England. The
1910 family tree states he parents an brothers an sisters names with dates using his name
as William Robson Chalmers, the 1962 tree mentions him using the name tamate'
Chalmers, an mention he was eaten by cannibals, the 1986 tree mentions him as William
Robson Chalmers, an there is a quote that saids eaten by Cannibals. This is what i know
off the top of my head without digging through my notes, He was a missionary for the free
church of London, an he was married twice, an i'm pretty sure he didn't have any
kids with the first lady, but he did hav!
e 4 daughters with the second lady, an through my research, she went to america, with two
of the daughter an 2 daughters stay'd in australia, thats why there is an american an
a ozzie branch connected to him. His Grandfather was the surgeon to several Archbishops of
Canterbury. his dad an mum were married in Port Elizabeth in South Africa 28 Oct 1833, his
dad was a army surgeon an died there on 25 Nov 1850 according to a british medical journal
with the date of 1851......there is lots about him on the net, but your going to have to
siff throught it, because i read a bio on the net that said his dad was a stonemason, Well
through my research thats would be a mistake,.....Scotty Chalmers
