Euphemia McKinnon

   Other names for Euphemia were Mrs. Euphemia Cameron and Fimia McInen.

  General Notes:

Came to Australia when she was 2. She married Angus when she was 20
and Tom Waldron at 34. I can find no record in the NSW index that she and Angus were married in NSW.

  Noted events in her life were:

• She has conflicting birth information of Malcolm McKinnon's web site, 1835 and Isle Of Skye, Scotland, United Kingdom.

• She immigrated with her parents from Skye, Scotland on the "Midlothian on 12 Dec 1837 to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

• Literacy: it would appear that she could not write as at, on 22 Jul 1869, in Taree, New South Wales, Australia.

Euphemia married Malcolm Hugh Angus "Angus" Cameron, son of Angus "Ewen" Cameron and Margaret Mackenzie, on 1 Jan 1855 in Dunmore, , New South Wales, Australia. (Malcolm Hugh Angus "Angus" Cameron was born circa 1825 in Lochaber, Inverness, Scotland, United Kingdom, died on 14 Jan 1869 in Taree, New South Wales, Australia and was buried after 14 Jan 1869 in Oxley Island, Taree, New South Wales, Australia.). The cause of his death was Disease of spinal marrow.

  Noted events in their marriage were:

• Alt. Marriage: ca. 1848, Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia.

  Marriage Notes:

His son's birth certificate states that they were married in 1854 at Dunmore NSW.

13 Sep 2000 - A search of the NSW BDM Index from 1850 to 1860 did not reveal any record of an Angus Cameron marrying, nor a Euphemia McKinnon. This was confirmed in a further search in June, 2003.

A further search in May 2005 revealed the following entry:

V1848510 78/1848 CAMERON ANGUS MCLAURIN EUPHEMIA JY.

The JY subscript indicates a Presbyterian marriage at Bungonia, Goulburn.

Could the name McLaurin by an error in the transcription?

Further investigation of the NSW Births Index seems to indicate that the Angus and Euphemia marriage in Goulburn are two different people. This leads to the conclusion that there is no entry in the marriage Index for our Angus and Euphemia.

Euphemia next married Thomas Waldron, son of William Waldron and Cecile, on 22 Jul 1869 in Taree, New South Wales, Australia. (Thomas Waldron was born in 1841 and died circa 1909 in Taree, New South Wales, Australia.)

  Marriage Notes:

A search of the NSW BDM Index revealed the following entry:-

2563/1869 WALDEN THOMAS CAMERON EUPHEMIA
Please note the spelling of "Walden".
