Surnames: Keddie, Hood
Am researching my husbands family tree, and have gone back to a Robert Keddie b 1827 married to Elizabeth Hood b 1828. They emigrated to Australia in 1848 sailing from Plymouth, England to Geelong, Vic, Australia. We only knew they were from Scotland b/c of the shipping list which states only fifeshire as their place of birth. Would appreciate any info if you have come across these names in your research. Cheers.

I've been researching this family tree also. I have a fair bit of information as I'm also a direct desendant.
Elizabeth and Robert actually arrived in Port Aurthur Tasmania in 1848. Unsure what happen next but they ended up in Melbourne Vic. Had a son Thomas Hood Keddie which is my great grandfather. He married Ellan Mary Boyd .
They had 11 children one of which is my grandmother. (ivy Amelia Keddie )
Robert was a carpenter and died in a railway accident in 1881 aged 53. If you have any more info please email

Hi Greg,
I'm Ivy keddie's grandaughter. Have a fair bit of info. The ship that Robert and Elizabeth came out on was called the Aurora arrived in Port Phillip on the 7th Dec 1848.
James was born on board the ship on the way over, but his birth was registed as being born in Melbourne. Hope this helps.

Regards
Julie

My grandfather was James Turner Keddie who married Mary Florence Hahn in Victoria and moved to Western Australia and had four children. My mother was Kathleen Florence Keddie. I think,my grandfather's father's name was Robert and I think he was the son of the above. Is that correct/ What information do you have. Looking forward to hearing from you. Janet
