Janet died August 5 , 1889 in St Leonards Sydney New South Wales Australia. Searching for Birth date and location ( details possibly early 1800's.) Janet immigrated to Australia and lived in Tasmania and Port Phillip ( now Melbourne Victoria Australia ). Married John Muston in Sydney August 31, 1848. Had 7 children.

  1. What is Janet's Date & Place of Birth plus other other siblings?
  2. What Vessel brought her to Australia and when ?
  3. Janet was not a convict. How did she afford to travel to Australia Did she have a benefactor or did she enrol in the Bounty schemes?
  4. Any other information of Janet would be appreciated. She is my Great,Great, Grandmother and I hope you can help me find these facts.Many thanks

    [ With what appears to be your first post ... ]

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    So, in relation to what you have provided ...

    A quick 'look' ...

    DEATH

    This must be her "Death Registration" ...

    Country = Australia

    State = New South Wales

    MARRIAGE

    I could NOT find a Marriage for a John MUSTON & Janet MILLAR, in Sydney, NSW, Australia in (or, around) 1848

    But ...

    I did find this Marriage for a Janet MILLAR in 1848 - to a John HUSTON

    Pending image.png

    BIRTH

    Now, from that "Death Registration", it indicates, that the Parents, were a, John; and, Mary ...

    I took a 'look' in the "ScotlandsPeople" Website.

    I could not find a Birth/Christening, for an Janet MILLAR, with Parents of, John; and, Mary, around ...

    Musselburgh, Midlothian (or, Edinburgh) Scotland ...

    But ...

    That Said ...

    I did find this ...

    [ With a Father of John ... ]

    And, these

    [ With ANY Parents ]

    Thanks Brett,

    Unfortunately I can't access any of the documents you have found.

    Is it possible to send them in a different format ?

    PS. Their marriage certificate had a error on it Huston not Muston. The papers confirmed the date..

    Looking forward to what you have found.

    Cheers

    Bruce

    It is NOT, the FORMAT, of the Images, that is the Problem/Issue ...

    The Problem/Issue, is "Image Moderation", in 'FamilySearch'.

    I think, that "Image Moderation", in 'FamilySearch', may be in Overdrive/Overworked due to "RootsTech 2022"

    Give it some 'Time'; and, a will also try. to 'rejig' things, as well.
