(Posted for another)

"Seeking any available info on the Inkster family of the Shetland area. Andrew Inkster (abt 1782-1859) married Isabella Henderson (abt 1779-1865) in about 1806. They had 9 children and emigrated to South Australia, Australia sometime between 1829 and 1853. I welcome any assistance"

Really wish to find out more about Andrew and his parents/siblings as welL

Thanks,

James.

Yes Lesley, thanks. In fact, I've been to "the office" and met "the crew".
Grand place, Shetland.
I'm kind of hoping some other Inksters will pop their heads up someplace.

Thanks,

James.

Hello James,

There are no online BDMs for South Australia so can’t help there.

Maybe they’re connected to these Inkster’s who came to South Australia http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin ... ecno=13101

You’ll find a number of military Inkster’s born South Australia late 19th Century if you search for INKSTER SA here http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/record ... index.aspx

There are some Inkster’s mentioned in a South Australia newspapers on this pilot site (will be much more there later)
http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home

Is this young John? http://images.slsa.sa.gov.au/mpcimg/08750/B8505_3.htm

There’s a passenger list here http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/austr ... st1852.htm

Hope this helps,
Alan

Hi James,

If you go to: http://www.sagh.org.au/

(South Australian Genealogy and Heraldry Society) you will find the following:

Government Gazettes: Inkster, 10 recorded names from 1845 to 2000
Cemetery Index: 9 recorded names from 1899 to 1991
Newspaper Deaths: 34 names.

They also now have a Transcription service for B.D.M's which began in July 2008.

Cheers,
Seeker.

Thanks Seeker - just a wee hitch with the url, mentioned here for the record in case someone else follows this thread - slight adjustment needed,

Useful resource.

Thanks,

James.

I noticed your post from 2008. If you are still interested I have a very detailed account of all their descendants including photographs, stories etc. Its a large file (nearly 100 pages) so if you would like a copy just let me know.
