Emma Leeming, Free Settler "Margaret" 1841

Emma Lindsay (Leeming).

It is believed that Emma married Robert Lindsay. No BDM Marriage found.

Daughters born to Robert and Emma Lindsay have the names "Alice Bleasdale" and "Margaret Leeming" which strongly supports that Emma was "Leeming".

The following information of the family tends to support the Lindsay connection.
