  1. 2.  Margaret Annie MOUNSTEVEN Descendancy chart to this point (1.John1) was born on 23 Jun 1860 in Burrumbeet, Victoria, Australia; died on 5 Apr 1942 in Ligar St, Clunes, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 7 Apr 1942 in Maryborough Cemetery, Maryborough, Victoria, Australia.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 5 Apr 1942, Maryborough, Victoria, Australia

    Notes:

    There is some mystery surrounding Margaret (Annie) and her connection to the Mounstevens.

    A birth certificate for MARGARET ANN MARTIN (June 1860) gives her parents as:
    John Martin, age 29, farmer, born Rothesay Scotland.
    Caroline Swanwick, age 27, born Nottingham.
    Married in May 1852, Geelong (cannot find marriage or immigration)
    Caroline and John had ten children registered between 1853 and 1875. Three children died very young. They were all born at different places but mostly around Ballarat/Burrumbeet areas.
    I can find no record of Caroline's or John's deaths on the Victorian bdm indexes either.

    Margaret's marriage certificate (January 1881) quite clearly states that her parents are John Mounsteven and Mary Stacey.
    The minister states that the marriage was conducted with the written consent of the Bride's Father John Mounsteven.
    Margaret gives her father John Mounsteven's occupation as Storekeeper and describes herself as a Storekeeper's daughter. Her age is given as20(which matches her birth certificate).
    Her present and usual residence is McCallums Creek, Talbot.
    She signs herself as Margaret Annie Mounsteven.
    One of the witnesses is Norman McLean, Donald's brother.
    All these facts on her marriage certificate are correct.

    The birth certificate of her first child, Malcolm John, in October 1881, has some interesting information. Her name is given as Annie McLean, but her maiden name was MARTIN, age 20, birthplace Burrumbeet.
    The details of her marriage are correct - 11 Jan 1881 at McCallums Creek. One of the witnesses to the birth is MRS MOUNSTEVEN. The informant was her husband Donald.

    The birth certificate of her next child, Sylvia Mary, in July 1883, gives the same information as on Malcolm's certificate. This time one of thewitnesses is Mrs McLean, with no mention of Mrs Mounsteven (Mary had died in April 1883). The informant is Annie herself.

    She gave birth to 11 children, and 9 lived to at least middle age. All were registered in Talbot under the name of ANNIE MARTIN.

    On her death certificate, her father is given as John Henry Martin, farmer, and her mother as Caroline Swanwick.

    John Mounsteven was living at Burrumbeet by July 1861, 18 months after Margaret Annie was born. The Martin’s moved to McCallum’s Creek before 1864 when a son was born there. The Mounstevens may have followed them there.
    Margaret was under twenty-one when she marriedand so needed her parents’ written consent to marry; John and Mary Mounsteven possibly acted as her ‘defacto’ parents to make her marriage easier. Margaret may have been working in the Mounsteven’s store for some time and become their ‘adopted daughter.’

    Margaret married Donald MCLEAN on 11 Jan 1881 in McCallum's Creek, Victoria, Australia. Donald (son of Malcolm MCLEAN and Flora MCLEOD) was born in 1854 in Brighton, Victoria, Australia; died on 22 Jul 1932 in 64 Napier St, Maryborough, Victoria, Australia; was buried on 24 Jul 1932 in Maryborough Cemetery, Maryborough, Victoria, Australia.
