Hi. I am looking for ancestors of Mary Scott Macmillan born about 1819 in or near Wigtown, Scotland, (maybe Mochrum). She married William Beddie of Wigtown and they sailed to Australia after the birth of their first son, David.
She died in Carcoar, NSW in 1868.
I know her life after she arrived in Australia but am trying to trace her Scottish family and ancestors
thank you for your help
