Hi Kellie
I am clutching at straws.
I know that Ross's birth name must not have been the one that he used in Australia. I am looking for Roy's next of kin that would have been given when he was charged. They were both in the NQ area, Ross opened a gym "St Andrews Academy of Physical Culture" later in the year that Roy was charged in Malanda. Both were Scots of similar age, Ross's middle name Alistair and Roy's alias McAlister. I have everything I can find on Ross in Aus, including death and marriage certs. Can't find birth record or any details of his life in Scotland or his arrival here.
Thanks for your interest! Any help appreciated.
Regards
Jeanette
