john collister

Hi my name is Cindy Frey. I am serching for information or direction on John Collister son of William and Elizabeth , born June 5 1811, Kirk Bradden near Douglas, and his wife Ester, daughter of Robert and Ann Moore born June 14, 1809. They also had at least one daughter Ann born august 5 1833 befor they emigrated to the USA in 1836. I have a picture of John, a copy of a 1902 news article on him when he was 91 yrs old. I also have a picture of a close relative (I think-The resemblance is strong) taken before 1900 by R. Champion Bradshaw, 40 Finch Road, Douglas. This man is unidentified. There is a family story that John had a brother that emigrated to Australia at mear the same time. Untill the late 1950's my family had in its possesion correspondence between them but it has since dissapeared. We also have a marble and gold Acorn that again according to family stories was some sort of award? Any help or direction in my search would be appreciated Thank You CSF (cndyfrey@aol.com)
