Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

Researching any descendants/relatives of the Hallyburton/Halliburton family originally from Perth, Scotland arriving in Liverpool via Stafford 1800's onwards. Any help/suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Can you be a little more specific about what details you already have to save any duplication of research and also to give us a point to start from.

A warm welcome to our forum.
As Mary has suggested, more info would be much appreciated to assist with your search.
Best wishes

Hi Tina,
I notice you hail from Australia so I'll begin with the member of the family who emigrated
there, he would be a great x2 uncle, being a younger brother of my great x2 grandfather.

Adam Hallyburton b1827 Perth Scotland arrived with his wife Ann Wylie b 1830 Scotland,
in Geelong, Victoria on 9th July 1857, on a ship called the 'Carlton' from Liverpool, England. He had employment waiting for him as a stone mason in Geelong.
They had two children travelling with them, Adam and Isabella.

I hope this is the same family that you are researching. Look forward to hearing from you confirming it.

And how can we help with your own research? are any connected to the Liverpool area?

Hi Lotus3, I'm not researching your family. I live downunder, was born in Wavertree and like a lot of our members across the globe, we try and help out whenever we can.
It looks like your Adam died aged 77 in 1904 and buried in Colac cemetery. A fair way from Geelong in UK miles but not in Oz.
I'm sure you have this info.
