• Notes

  Walter and Margaret Hill ATKIN welcomed their third daughter EleanorHarrison ATKIN into the family in Dublin on the 5th of May 1851. She wasbaptized 28 May 1851 in St.Stephen's Church, Dublin. Ref:St Stephen'sChurch of Ireland Baptisms - 1837-1853, P46/2/1, RCB Library, Dublin. Eleanor was just a baby when the ATKIN family sailed with members ofthe extended family, to the United States of America in the early 1850's. By the time the family returned to England and then sailed toAustralia in 1859, Eleanor must have been used to the sea voyages.Nothing is known about her early life and education, and as herprofession on her marriage certificate in 1869, stated 'Lady', it isdoubtful that she worked out of the ATKIN home. On the 30th of November 1869 Eleanor Harrison ATKIN was married toJohn Morrison McREA at the Presbyterian Church in Emerald Hill,Melbourne. As the bride was under age ( 17 years) it is stated on thecertificate that the 'written consent of the Mother of the Bride theFather being dead' was provided before the ceremony. Witnesses to themarriage between John Morrison McRAE and Eleanor Harrison ATKIN wereThomas and Margaret BLAIR. In 1870 a son named Alexander was born to John and Eleanor McREA,followed by a second son John Morrison McREA in 1871. Eleanor Harrison McCRAE died in New South Wales, Australia, in 1886,(Australian Vital Records 1886 Ref. # 4968 N.S.W.) No further information is known about the family. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
