Elizabeth McQueen, Scotland

Hi,
I have always believed that the 3 children who came out to Tasmania, with Elizabeth and William; besides their own, were her brothers, but it has now come to pass, that they were her brother's orphaned children.
I now have new information to add to previous post.
Elizabeth McQueen's Parents were George McQueen and Christian Morrison; they were married on November 20, 1797 in Strathmiglo, Fife, Scotland.They had five children to our knowledge;
1. Christian (I make the distinction, that this child is male, considering it is the same as his mothers name) born September 16, 1798, Strathmiglo, Fife.
2. Daniel, born February 9, 1800, Strathmiglo, Fife.
3. George, born March 28, 1802, Strathmiglo, Fife.
4. Alexander, born December 27, 1803, Newburgh, Fife; he married Sarah Allen on January 25, 1832, Newburgh, Fife, and they had the three orphaned children mentioned previously; I believe they were-: Celia McQueen, Rubina McQueen and John Mill McQueen.
5. Elizabeth's details are scratchy at best; she was born about 1811, presumably in Newburgh, Fife. Elizabeth married William Edwards on November 30, 1833, in Newburgh, Fife.
Happy Hunting,
Shari.
