Hello Catherine, Sorry I thought the trail had gone dry. Alexander Thomson, came to Australia when he was 16, so it makes sense that he and Robert are brothers. I just have his death reg saying his parents were Alexander and Jean. He died in Sydney 1966 and he lived around punchbowl, so the Campsie death reg matched. There is no p in Thomson, so the George Thompson is not him as he is a MacDonald. That match witht the Alexander McDonald and the Jane MacRae, is perfect, I'll just see if Jane was one of the daughters. |

Alexander Macrae and Elizabeth Taylor is also the father of Murdo Macrae. Connection! Elizabeth Macrae, Murdo Macrae and Jane Macrae all siblings. So George Macdonald was the cousin of Robert and Alexander. |

I have found a George Macdonald the son of Alexander Macdonald and Jane Macrae. Jane's parents were Alexander Macrae and Elizabeth Taylor. This is quite random though! |

Bronwyn when did Alexander travel to Australia? I note that Dolina Robert and their son travelled to Australia in 1927. Did Alexander go to Australia circa 1902? |

The three boys names on Robert Thomson, Alexander Thomson and George MacDonald. This is all I had to go by, Alexander married my Grandmother and we were told that Robert and George were cousins. I'll tell you a little about them. These three boys came to Australia, Alexander married my Grandmother, he came to Aust when he was 16. He married in Australia, so I've found all of the following info. As far as I can work out his parents are Alexander and Jean. (so I'm not too sure if Robert and Alexander are the brothers) Robert's parents are John Thomson & Elizabeth MacRae, both died when Robert was young, so his paternal Grandparents cared for him after his mother died c.1902. There were other kids in John and Elizabeth's family that didn't go with the Grandparents only Robert and also a Aleser (Alexander) who was about 6 years. older. And George MacDonald married an Ida (I think Sabina Ida Cavey here in Australia). They married in 1925 so he came out prior. So I'm assuming his mother was a Thomson? Does that make sense? haha |

When Robert was 8 and living with his Grandparents MacRae's there was maybe a brother? Aleser (Alexander) Thomson 15. I wonder if he was a 1/2 brother or cousin? |
