| Notes |
- I am a descendant of Alexander McFarlane born on 19th April 1841 Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland and over the last 20 years my 2nd cousin and I have been collecting information about this family.
Our great grandfather was a shipwright and boat builder and the old family business is still (for the time being) working at Port Adelaide and just recently there was a yacht for sale in Wellington, New Zealand that was built here by Alexander and some of his sons in 1897. The asking price was $800,000, must be absolutely gorgeous. I have just written an article about the William Fife designs that were built there in the 1890's and the Sayonara was one of his designs..
He married a Port Adelaide girl Mary Ann Tyzack in the 1860's and they had 15 children only 9 survived to adulthood one being my grand father Samuel Tyzack McFarlane.
There are about 200 descendants from this union.
