Hello Board
Can anyone help me?
I have a Mary Anna Cruickshank b 28 July 1889 to parents
Adam and Mary Cruickshank.
Mary Anna may have had siblings called
Adam
Charles
another brother
Sisters
Jean
and another who died age 13, she was out picking flowers at sunset and fell over a cliff and was killed, this was reported in the newspapers at the time, but I do not know her name.
Mary Anna immigrated to Australia sometime prior to 1915 as she married here that year.
Two of her brothers, Charles and ? immigrated to Australia 10 March 1913, Charles was later to leave Australia to move to America where he married, had two sons, one of whom was killed during the bombing of Pearl Harbour.
I realise the info is sketchy, I can add to it by saying a relation to Mary Anna Cruicshank did research the Cruickshank Scotland/Australia connection and was able to say that the Cruickshank Mary Anna was related to could be traced back to the 1700's in Aberdeeshire. Alas my father ( who was Mary Anna's son) never asked for any of the info on his mother or her family back in Scotland.
It has only been since he died recently that we have discovered letters and photos he had put away that we had no idea about.
If anyone can help, that would be great.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
