Thanks Flick. There wasn't much on here before the request was posted on the Help.


Looks like John's mother maybe died in child birth as he seems to be an only child.

Very little info on the help Clinic posting............. other than a possible brother for Peter

I am sure that there is more there, unless of course that Lyndsay is only looking for the family after they emigrated.

Wow, what amazing information. My most sincere thanks to Jullcoe and Rootgatherer. I am very interested in ALL information I can get re this family and earlier generations. All the names see to tie up and I appreciate the effort you have both gone to to help me.
So sad to read of the births/deaths of the three children in Melbourne, not forgetting the couple lost son on voyage out. Maybe family was only in
Bothwell a short time? However have heard there were Coutts there in the early days - maybe relatives came out earlier?
Anyway will enjoy adding all you have kindly sent to my tree.
Lyndsay.

Hi, have you looked at paperspast? A John COUTTS had adds in the Colonial paper Nelson as early as 1875. Also saw an artical that a John COUTTS had gone to Pleasant Valley, Palmerston Sth. same paper 16 Mar 1908. Pat

Hi Pat,
Thanks for that info ...will go to Paperspast.
Lyndsay.
