Robert Mann and Agnes Ferguson, UK, Tasmania, Aust.
Further to my previous message re my 3x great grandparents, I now think they may have been married in the UK and then immigrated to Tasmania, or married in Australia sometime before 1837. Their eldest son Robert was born on 1 Sept 1837 and christened at Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church in Hobart on 24 Sept 1837. Their daughter Sarah Ann was born April 1843 and another son William was born 19 Feb 1848. An unnamed female child is shown as being born in 1845. Tantalisingly there is a record, on a completely unrelated site, of a Mariod Mann being born in that year in Hobart to a Robert and Agnes Mann nee Ferguson. This child ended up in America, married, and died in 1916 in Bingham, Idaho.
Sarah Ann was my 2x great grandmother and married John Hiddlestone in Hobart in 1864, before immigrating to Christchurh, New Zealand. She died on 26 March 1878.
I am very interested in tracing the descendants of Robert and William. Family history has it that William had two daughters, Beatrice and Lalla (surely a nickname!). My grandparents visited the latter in Australia after WW2 and she died sometime after that, outside Melbourne.
If this sounds familiar to anyone do contact me.
