Helen Coubrough and George Ingram had at least 7 children: George, Alice, Robert, George W., William, Ronald McDonald, and Helen. James Coubrough and Alice Paterson were married in Edinburgh on October 31, 1871. James was the second of three children of James Hannah Park Coubrough and Christina Colqhoun, who were married February 7, 1845. I have lots more information about the Coubroughs--to about 1700 for this particular line--if you are interested.

Thanks for reply. Would be very interested in receiving any information you have on this tree. Would like to add that Helen Coubrough and George Ingram had 7 children..they were Alice b.1892, Robert b. 1894, George b. 1896, William b. 1898, Ronald McDonald (my father-in-law) b. 1901, Helen b. 1903 and Colin b. 1905. They were all born in St. Peters, New South Wales. Alice and William remained unmarried until their death. It also appears that James Coubrough remarried after the death of Helen in 1887. He married Margaret Downes b. Blantyre, Scotland - father Alexander Sharp - Mother Mary Marshall. Any info on this would be appreciated also.

I'm afraid that I don't know anything about James' second marriage, but the parents of Alice Paterson were John Paterson and Mary Ann Catto.

James Wilberforce Coubrough's older brother, John James Howard Coubrough married Isabella Veitch on April 27, 1869, in Newmilns, Loudoun, Ayr and they had 6 children before John died early in 1881, in Barnet, England.

James and John's baby sister Helen, born 1850, married Ronald McDonald on March 31, 1871, at Ardno, Kinkaid, Argyll. I don't know if they had any children.

James Hannah Park Coubrough and Christina Colqhuoun, (parents of John, James and Helen) were married February 7, 1845, in Glasgow. James was chr January 3, 1816, youngest of five children of John Coubrough and Euphemia Stewart Park, who had been married April 28, 1806, at Renfrew, Renfrew, Scotland.

Euphemia, b 1778, Penninghame, Wigtown, was the eldest of six children of Anthony Park and Sarah Hannah. Euphemia's husband, John, b 1761, Mid-Ballewan, Strathblane, Stirling, was the eldest of six children of John Coubrough and his third wife, Jean Livingstone.

Jean Livingstone, b 1732, Strathblane, Stirling, was the second of three children of John Livingstone and Janet Meiklem. Jean's husband, John, b 1717, Mid-Ballewan, was the sixth child and eldest son of John Coubrough (1660 - 1740), and Jonet Buchanan, who were married about 1703, probably in Campsie, Stirling. The Strathblane, Stirling, Scotland, church yard has a large granite monument to this family.

James and Alice Coubrough left Dundee, Scotland, on September 1, 1883, aboard the clipper ship DUNTRUNE, Master John Rollo. They landed at Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, in December of the same year. Alice died in 1887, and James in about 1900.

James W. and Alice had four children:
1. Helen, as we have seen, married George Ingram and had 7 children
2. John Paterson Howard married Gertrude Griffin in 1899, then Elizabeth Colley in 1920. I don't know if he had any children
3. James Wilberforce married Grace Selby in Granville, New South Wales, Australia in 1900. They had seven children: William H. b 1898 m. Stella Hilaire in 1925 and had four kids; James b 1900; Mary A. b 1902 m. Thomas Taylor in 1923; John Howard Paterson b 1904; Thomas b abt 1906; Ronald McDonald b about 1908 married and had two sons but I don't know the name of his wife; and Alice, b abt 1910, but I don't know much else about them.
4. Mary Sykes, b 1881, in Edinburgh. She probably arrived in Australia, since her parents arrived there with four children,but I don't know anything else about her.
