  • I've hit a brick wall with my family tree, can someone please help?

    I can't find any information on my great great grandfather Andrew Aiton and his wife Catherine McNair. Their son (my great grandfather) was John Aiton born 10 July 1860 in Houston Scotland and died 10 April 1919 in Quirindi NSW Australia.

    According to family verbal history we are related through Andrew Aiton to William Aiton the King's gardener who created Kew gardens. William Aiton was born 28 April 1731 in a village near Hamilton Lanarkshire Scotland and died 2 February 1793 at Kew.

    However I can't find anything on Andrew Aiton or the generations between him and William to confirm the link. Any information on Andrew Aiton (especially regarding his parents) would be most appreciated.

  • Can someone please access the Australia Death Index, 1787-1985 for me please?

    I'm trying to find information about the death of Milton Robert Slatter born 27 may 1923 in Warialda NSW. He married Elsie May Lockyer in Armidale NSW in 1949.

    Ancestry.com state he died in 1979 but I can't get more details without access to the Australia Death Index. I'm after information for a family member on where, date, reg. number and any other details about his death. Any information would be appreciated.
