In reply to: Andrew McWilliam 's message, "Family History" on 23:57:52 03/07/07 Wed

I am researching the McWilliam family but have some gaps. My GG Grandfather, Peter McWilliam arrived at Moreton Bay with his 2 brothers, Adolphus and Thomas in 1849 They were born in Glen Luce, Wigtownshire, Scotland. I have been unable to trace Adolphus who was Baptised on 29.4.1810. As a big offchance I thought he may be related to your McWilliam family.
