Thank you very much.
Now to try and find info from scotland. Any clues?
Also anything on Rachels Death?
Ive been looking on Scotlands people cencus for Allan, but not having much luck. I was told both his parents had died and he was with two step parents, just before leaving Glasgow for Aus

Came across several deaths for a Rachel CAMPBELL.
If you have her approximate year of birth and parents names it may assist with death searches.

WOW this is great.
I have some pics of Arajoel school. I will attempt to put on here.

DanC74

ok maybe no pictures here.
I have a fair amount of info on the descendants of Allan and Rachel.
We have not been able to locate any info on Allan prior to his marriage, he was around 14 years old when he sailed for Aus from Glasgow so around 1863.
Thankyou to all for the info received today, Mum and Dad (Ian C ggs of Allan) where here visiting as the info rolled in and we where amazed at the response and level of information.

I recall when we met dear, though the years they have
gone,
In a small country dance hall while the music played
on,
Rafters were ringing and oil lanterns swayed,
As the band played the Arajoel Waltz.
