| Biography Notes |
Margaret married three times. Her first husband, a Mr Fraser might have died in the early years of the marriage. Her second husband, a Mr Sutherland also might have died soon after. These first two marriages were in Scotland and there were probably no children from these relationships. We have not searched for OPRs of the births of Margaret and the two men, nor details of the marriages, deaths and offspring.
Margaret migrated to South Australia - no details yet.
Her third husband was Thomas Laidlaw in Strathalbyn in 1859. They had three children in Strathalbyn from 1859 to 1863.
She died in Strathalbyn in 1891. |

THE GOLLANS IN STRATHALBYN
* The Gollan surname was well known in Strathalbyn in the last half of the 19th century.
* In particular, there are Donald and two Margarets. We record them on our three websites. Donald is on the WAY website. One Margaret, born 1836, is on the GORDON website. The other Margaret, born 1826, is on this McLEAN website.
* Donald Gollan was prominent in public life and was the owner of the Terminus Hotel and several businesses. His wife was Catherine Matheson. They adopted Catherine 'Kitty' Gordon. Donald's profile is in www.samuelway.info.
* There were two women named Margaret Gollan who were both born near Inverness and both settled in Strathalbyn and both married and had children there around the same time.
* One Margaret Gollan was born in 1836. She was Donald's niece (ie she was the daughter of Donald's bother, John) and also she was Donald's sister-in-law (ie married to Hugh Matheson who was the half-brother of Donald's wife, Catherine). She migrated on the Salamanca in 1859. She married Hugh in 1861. They had eight children, three of whom had a middle name of Gollan. See www.alexanderandjessiegordon.net.
