I am looking for an Alexander Forbes who I believe came from Inverness-shire. He emigrated to Australia in about 1852 with his family. I have no idea of his wife's name or children apart from one son called Donald who would have been about 5 when they left Scotland.

I only know Donald's father's name - Alexander - from a brief mention of his marriage to Rachel Wood from the Argus newspaper Victoria Aus where it states "... eldest son of the late Alexander Forbes of Essendon..."

I know Alexander Forbes and his family emmigrated as it is stated in Donald Forbes' obituary that he was 5 when the family left Scotland.

I know this is a long shot but if anyone has any information or an idea where to look I would be really pleased to hear from you.
