Hi,
I've just found the family of my gggrandmother Jane Hamilton who arrived in Australia aboard the 'William Rodger' with her family in 1838, aged 1yr. Her parents appear to be William aged 29 and Mary aged 30-33, and with them, a sister named Ellen aged 3. With this Hamilton family and on the same voyage, is another Hamilton family consisting of Peter aged 34 from Lismahger, Lanark, Flora aged 30 from Leshenahago, Lanark, Flora aged 31 (listed are her children, Elizabeth, Susannah, Maria and Jessie...Jessie is the only one of these children with her mother on the Rodger...Maria, I can find on another later voyage)...also with Peter and Flora are Agness aged 5, Flora aged 3, Horame aged 3, Mary aged 6 and another Mary aged 1.
Does anyone out there know of a Hamilton family/families who came to Australia in September 1838?
Any information would be just wonderful.
Many kind thanks.
