  • Notes 
    • **********
      «i»[Colin II's] son, another Colin (1834-1918) shown on the family tree as Colin Munro III was the first of that family to emigrate to Australia, which he did in 1854 at the age of 20 years. He sailed on the Luma/Luna with his father as the Master. This was Colin Munro III's 2nd trip and as he and his father were not on good terms their parting at the dock side may will have been mutually satisfying. Colin was a pioneer in the sugar industry and condensed milk industries.

      Although Colin III sold his company to Nestle, the family was still involved in the condensed milk industry as Ailsa's father was manager of the Nestle condensery at Toogoolawah and the family, Mum, Dad, Neil, Colin, Jean and Ailsa lived in the lovely company house called Inverness.«/i»
