There are a lot of John McArthur(s). Did he have a middle name ? Where was he living in Australia? Did he marry Mary Jane before he arrived in Australia ? What children did they have, where & date.

Is this John McArthur's wife?

There was also a John MCARTHUR died 1960 in Victoria, aged 87 years, and a Mary Jane MCARTHUR died 1949 in Victoria, aged 77 years. Same names, same years of death. Going by their ages at death they are not the ones you seek, but worth a mention just the same.

NOGGIN the two top people buried at the St Lawrence Cemetery are the family I am trying to track THANKS VERY - John has no middle name - don't know when they married - lived at St Lawrence Qld most of life - John's children were Robert, Archibald, Nellie, William & Maria

NOGGIN - further to John & Mary Jane McArthur I have been told they were born in Australia - GOOD LUCK THANKS

Found the above on this site:

It might be worth looking for other family members there. It appears to be free unless you want the certs etc.

family no relation to me, good luck searching

This is my G-Grandparents that I am trying to research. Herbert was also a son of John & Mary Jane McArthur (McPhee). He is my Grandfather but to our sad loss he died when he was 42 Years. My Mother is still alive & Herbert is her Father. If anyone wants to make contact I would be happy to learn more. Except for Aunty Ria I know very little about this side of the family.
