Note

Alexander had been educated in Rome for the Catholic priesthood but at the age of 29 left just before his ordination. He decided to migrate to Australia and arrived in Sydney in 1838.

In February 1851, Alexander MacKillop left his family behind after having mortgaged the farm and their livelihood and made a trip to Scotland lasting some 17 months. Throughout his life he was a loving father and husband but never able to make a success of his farm. He was even worse as a politician or at any kind of job. During most of the times the family had to survive on the small wages the children were able to bring home.
