Trying to find birth place of Lillias, believed to be Scotland.
Lillias married John Sargeant in 1875 in Victoria Australia.
Father's name William.

Cannot check Scot births sorry but did see a Lillias Finlayson Forsyth born in England 1880 - nothing to do with your surname request but thought I would mention it, Irene

This is the nearest I can find to a 1856 birthdate

You might find the information on

Scottish registration didn't begin until 1855 so there will be no birth cert for an 1853 birth. Looks like this one is Lilias Elizabeth

Thank you all for your lookups. It is interesting that there is another Lillias Finlayson Robertson.
I now have a copy of the marriage certificate which has father William Robertson and mother Janet Davie.
Lillias married John Sargant in Victoria in 1875 both from Scotland.
His father Thomas and mother Jane Stewart. It does'nt say where in Scotland unfortunately.
I will try Scotlandspeople.
Thanks again
Janet

It's very strange because this marriage is on the IGI. I know it's too late for your Lilias if she was married in 1875.
