James Bain Carpenter
Been looking for when my gfather came to Aus Know he was here in oct 1915 as that's when dad was born so must have been in abt jan 1915. Can find nothing in the records here. He and his bro were carpenters so they must have trained somewhere. Wondering would there have been indenture records and/or where would they have done their apprentiships around Keiss or Wick or Caithness or even Scotland. He was a fine carpenter if the furniture he made my grandmother in any indication and later ran a building co in Sydney building large houses around the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Almost all papers and records have been destroyed at some time and I have had to rely on info from a relative i contacted on genes reunited and here. That's been wonderful. But i'm hopeing there is other records i haven't thought to try yet.
Thanks
Regards robyn
Looking for Bain, Mowat(t), from Keiss-by-Wick
