MCPHERSON family: James and Jane (Nee Robertson) McPherson left Blairgowrie, Scotland after their Marriage in November, 1840 to travel to Australia. A stopover in New Zealand saw the birth of their first child Helen. They then moved onto Hobart where 3 more children were born. Jane, James & Margaret. Another four children were born possibly on mainland Australia in Victoria, Sarah, John, Charles R and Jessie. The family lived in and around the Ascot Vale, Flemington area of Melbourne, Australia, for many years. Helen M Henry T Mutimer, Issue 10. Sarah m Charles J Chatterton, Issue 5. James m Annie E Patrick, Issue 4. Charles R m Annie A Richmond, Issue 8. James died in 1892 aged 80, Jane died in 1906 aged 86. The descendants of James and Jane are many and I am still researching some of the branches, but have a direct lineage from Charles Robertson McPherson to 2002. If you would like any of the information I currently have or have any to add please feel free to contact me. Lillian J Iles (Nee McPherson) |

COTTLE
Charles, Mary, William and Charles Joseph Charles was born in England, probably near Bath, Somerset. He married Mary DIAMOND IN 1835 and they had two sons, William who was born in 1836 and christened in Weston Church and Charles Joseph who was born in 1838 in Swainswick. In the application for emigration to the N.Z. Company the address was given as Swainswick near Bath. Charles's occupation was gardener. Charles died in 1941 shortly after arriving in NZ and was buried in Wellington. Mary was born around 1811. There is some confusion as to the year in which Mary died. The most probable would be as recorded in the N.Z. Journal 1848. Under "Deaths in the Colony Since the Foundation of the Colony" the following is stated," 1841 wife of Charles COTTLE aged 30 decline". After Marys death the two boys were cared for by the GILL family, John and Amelia GILL who had arrived in Wellington on the barque Gertrude on the 3rd November 1841. William was born in Weston Parish, Somerset, England and christened on the 15th march 1835. Weston is on the northern outskirts of Bath. William's occupation as listed on his marriage certificate was "shoemaker". William married Catherine Anna Maria MEE (minor) on April the 24th 1860. It is thought that at some stage William and Catherine shifted to Australia Charles (jnr) was born in Swainswick, Somerset on the 22nd February 1838.Charles was married at the age of 23 to Mary Ann GILL, who was 17 years old, in St Paul's Church, Thorndon on the 25th December 1861. They had 15 children. (9 sons and 6 daughters.) Anyone interested in this family please contact Tony Christiansen |
