 General Notes:
Extract from John Duncan's "We Are All Margaret Haldane's Bairns":
They emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in the 1930's, apparently together with (Isabella's sister) Elizabeth McMillan Duncan.
See William Alfred Bousted for more notes on him.
Isa and Alf were deeply involved with the female version of Freemasonry, i.e.
The Order of The Eastern Star, which took up a lot of their free time visiting other Orders, and on social outings with other members. They also enjoyed caravanning, again with O.E.S. members.
Before 1951 they operated some sort of boarding-house in Albert Park, South Melbourne where Joseph B. Hughes #86 with his sons and daughters lodged when they came to Australia, presumably in 1930.
Joe was a retired fishmonger from Aberdeen where he had a shop, and apparently his wife died there. He was also a lay preacher .
It was at this boarding-house that Joe met Elisabeth McMillan Duncan and they married.
Later, Alf and Isa bought a house in 7 Moylan St., East Bentleigh, and afterwards they moved to the beach suburb of Blairgowrie.
Isabella married William Alfred "Alf" Boyd, son of John Boyd and Rachel Calder, 25th of June in 1924 in Her Mother's House, 27 Richmond St., Glasgow, Lanark, Sct. (William Alfred "Alf" Boyd was born circa 1894 in SCT.)
