Margaret Jemima WILLIAMSON was buried in Sydney on 27 April 1847 and Robert married another Margaret soon after.

Robert was drowned ? suicide in Rose Bay on 7 Nov 1867 (this might be his burial date).

He seems to have been bankrupt in lots of places and to have ended up an alcoholic (his second wife probably didn't see him much towards the end).
I've never found a birth date for either or where they came from. I had thought both were Scottish but have just found a possible Northumberland birth in 1808? Is this possible?
Very close to Scottish border.
