Edward Douglas B 1824 Birmingham England

[Peter Douglas]

We believe Edward has 2 brothers, siblings of James and Susan Nee Luck of Maidenhead Scotland. His brothers apparently went to Canada in about 1850 which is when Edward came to Australia in 1851 aboard the "Malacca". We know nothing about our family line previous to this only James Douglas's father was also James. Any help very much appreciated

Peter: Something to double check. The only Maidenhead I'm aware of is in England, almost due west of London.

The village of Maidens lies at the south end of Ayrshire's Maidenhead Bay some six miles west of Maybole and a similar distance north east of Girvan. A possibility?

William,
Thank you, I have looked at the town website and it has a set of rocks called "Maidenshead" in the Bay which may well be where our thinking comes from. I will keep searching. Thank you for your replies. Peter
