William FORTUNE. Scotland, USA? Australia
Hi,
Looking for information regarding William FORTUNE, b1825 St Andrews Fife. d,1858, Heathcote, Victoria Australia.
F: John FORTUNE
M: Margaret GRAY
I believe we went to California for the gold rush as I have foind him on the 1841 scot census, no on the 1851 scot census, and then on the 1852 californian census. I believe he followed the gold rushes and entered Australia via the schooner SPARTACUS in 1854 at Melbourne. He died in 1858 aged 33 and is buried in the heathcote cemetery.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
