Hello fellow B.Ger's

John MUNRO--- Margaret MUNRO [nee BUCHANAN]

I am seeking help in finding descendents of the above people. John and Margaret came to aust from Scottland, and setteled in Vic Au, date unknown.
All but one of their children were born in the Mallee Vic . And the all moved to Sth Gippsland,. from there I now not where.

John came from Invernesshire, and Margaret from Argyleshire - they married in Victoria in 1884. Reg no:879

Their death certificates should indicate how long they had been in Australia, if the informant knows this info. They may have arrived as small children with their families or arrived as adults.


All but one of their children were born in the Mallee Vic

I see two in the index - Cath Grace and Clemence Gordon Gladstone both Outtrim. Total of 11 children, two dying in infancy.

Samuel Peter MUNRO married Margaret Elizth DULLON in 1912 / reg:10368
she shows as DILLON in birth regs of 4 children to 1920 - 3 in Wonthaggi and the first in Powlett River.

Donald Nicholas MUNRO marr Daisy Cath McLEAN in 1915 / reg:12427
I do not see children reg in Victoria to 1920.

a Hugh Keith MUNRO married in 1919, to Ida Marie Ctina PETERSON, reg:7085

The other names are too common to guess at marriages.

I suggest you check the National Archives for war service records for the men, they may have next of kin and then you can get their localities as well as the spouse name.

Deaths
Alex died Wonthaggi, ("Waggi" in index) 1950, aged 58 - reg:24048
Amos Boston died "Warr' (?Warrnambool) 1966, aged 72 - reg:3335
Neil Gilbert died Nyah aged 83, 1969 - reg: 9589
Samuel Peter died 'Fost" (Foster) aged 91, in 1976 - reg:16488
Donald Nicholas died 'Mirb' (Mirboo) aged 80, in 1968 - reg:26960
