Who
was Arbuthnot Camble
McLathier (born Edinburgh 1801, died 24 November
1862, married Samuel Burnett). They had a child, Jane Burnett who
married Edmund Herne Buckeridge.
Answer:
Name: Arbuthnot Camble McClatchy (not
McLathier but that could simply be an error either in my case or
yours). Born: 01/07/1801 at Edinburgh. Married: 1829 at
Glasgow to Samuel Burnett. Arrived in New Zealand in 1839 on the Bengal
Merchant with her husband and possibly one or more of their children: I
have not been able to access passenger lists to verify the 1839 date
but early death records here included the question "How many years in
New Zealand?" and so it is often possible to work out the year of
emigration quite accurately (and we know that they did sail on the
Bengal Merchant). Died: 24/11/1862 at Te Whiti, New Zealand. Buried: at
Taita Cemetery (not too far from Wellington - somewhere in
the Wairarapa probably). It's a double plot and
Samuel is buried alongside her.
Their children's names that I have are:-
1. Mary Burnett (married name Trotter)
2. George Burnett (married Mary Bamford and their son George Samuel
Bamford Burnett was my great-grandfather). One of George and
Mary's daughters was also named
Arbuthnot Camble Burnett.
3. Isabella Burnett (married name Grey) (widowed and remarried a man
named either Parkhill or Ritchie)
4. Elizabeth Burnett (married name Pike or Pyke)
No Jane Burnett on my list, this still may have been the name of a
daughter - sometimes names just get 'lost'. Perhaps she
didn't travel to NZ with her parents.
In any case there are a few similarities and I will be very interested
to know if the Arbuthnot you are seeking and my Arbuthnot are the
same.

RESPONSE:
While
researching my own family I came
across a Charles Lock who was my Great Grandmothers brother. He was
born around 1886/87 in
Edgefield Norfolk England and at the time of the 1901 Census was age 13
and a stockman on
farm. He was living with his family: - Father Samuel,
mother Mary Ann, brother
Charles, sisters Miriam and Sarah (my great gran). We know he emigrated
to America as a
young man and I found Charles Arbuthnot Lock on the Ellis Island
site. This Charles
seems to be the same person. He came from Edgefield, was 22yrs
and 2mths old on 19th
June 1909. He sailed on the St Louis and gave his destination
address as Redlands
Ranch, Wyoming. While the dates do not seem to fit with your enquiry
the name (somewhat
unusual) and Wyoming connection suggest this is the person you are
looking for? I believe
decendants of Charles Lock are currently living in Maryland. Jenny Foster
MIDDLE NAME QUERIES THAT ARE ANSWERED |

Date:
7 January 2004 From: Toby Arbuthnot Gottlieb (or Godlick or Godlieb) M. Van Someren, who died in 1853 in Madras was supposedly a friend of the Arbuthnots of Arbuthnot & Co. He married twice, in 1810 to Lydia Pascal (14 children) & then after her death in the 1830s to Martha Avenal (6 children). According to the birth information for Martha's children Gottlieb was a "Merchant". However, another source has said that in the 1840's Gottlieb was a book-keeper for the Arbuthnots, but as he was supposed to have lived in a vast mansion called "Marble Hall" in 9 acres of park in Royapuram (destroyed in 1925 by an earth & sea quake!) and sent his children to be educated in England and Scotland; he sounds rather more than a humble clerk. His son, William Judson Van Someren was recommended by one of the Mr Arbuthnots to the Indian Medical Service after qualifying as a surgeon in the mid 1840's in Edinburgh. (He ended up as Deputy Surgeon General in India.) Gottlieb had two grandchildren (of at least 30) with the name, Arbuthnot: George Arbuthnot Van Someren, born Dollar, Clackmannanshire in 1860 (son of William Judson Van S. & his first cousin Harriet Taylor - they had 14 children) and Gottlieb Arbuthnot Van Someren. born Medomsley, Durham 23 March 1870, died Madras April 1893 (son of Gottlieb James Van S. a colonel in the Indian Army b 1842 d 1915, half brother to William Judson Van S - and Sarah Marsden - they had 4 children).. Gottlieb's sister, Emelia Antoinette Van S. married a LMS missionary, Rev Joseph Taylor, and bred children who married into the Birdwood family (a general, Field Marshal & baron), Lechmere family (Indian army officers) & Anderson (Scottish Laird) so they were not at the bottom of the social heap on the Madras scene. Emelia and the Rev. Joseph Taylor also had a daughter, Eliza who married Gregor Grant Lieutenant in the 9th regiment Bombay Army. Gregor's father, also Gregor Grant was a judge in Surat. Lieut. Grant and his wife, Eliza and youngest child, Ellen died during the seige at Lucknow. Their two other children, Gregor Ironside and Mary Grant survived and were repatriated initially to their paternal grandparents in Scotland and then to the Birdwoods. Gregor had two daughters to Ella Grahame Edna Ironside Grant, the eldest and Nina Geraldine Ogilvie Grant, the younger. Nina is Geoff's maternal grandmother. An interesting part of their upbringing was that Edna and Nina were left in the care of Dr George Arbuthnot Van Someren a medical practitioner in Mosman, Sydney. Dr and Mrs Van Someren were unable to have children of their own and Gregor Grant decided to leave his infant daughters with them. Their mother Ella died in 1906. Gregor visited his children only once then disappeared, never to have contact with them again. General William Birdwood is Geoff's second cousin and during the Great War, he wrote to his cousin, Geoff's grandmother, Nina Grant. Geoff Watson would be interested in any information you have on The Rev. Joseph Taylor - Emelia Van Someren descendants.

stationed in Ceylon. Fisher's father was Captain William
Fisher, married to Sophia Lambe around 1840, and John was
their first child, born in Rambodde, Ceylon. I do not have
any indication that Sir Robert was a blood relation to either the
Fishers or the Lambes, but it is obvious that his last name became
John's middle name because he was the godfather.
