Not quite accurate. See marriage Maltman to Murdoch [? second marriage ?] Ret.1884d/Milton/644/8/503] Mary Maltman's maiden name is queried. It is evident that both these girls are Bain as in original research, but when they died the informants were unaware of their maiden name and just had to guess. NOW I dont wish to presume, but they both used the same name for their daughter Janet, so the relationship was there somewhere. One daughter died and it seems important to give the 'Bain' name to the next daughter as it was a very strict custom during that time.
DEATH Certificate - John MALTMAN h/o Margaret Shearer.

Dates fit well for marriages and are the only entries that seem to fit. More research needed but this gives a good picture of closely woven families.

AUSTRALIAN MALTMAN FAMILY STORY
The Maltman story begins with John who sailed in 'Janet Mitchell' to Melbourne, where he disembarked to search for his nugget of gold. The vessel reached Melbourne on 6.1.1853 with Capt.Fisher,174 passengers,12 iron houses and oil. Gold had been discovered in 1851 at Ballarat. so it seams that John spent about three years in search of gold, before boarding vessel 'Gil Blas' for Dunedin - Otago, New Zealand as reported in the Argus News 22.1.1856. It appears, John sailed from New Zealand between 1860 and 1863. His story begins with the acquisition of land at Tiaro, (place of dead trees) near Maryborough in Queensland, where he began a lifetine friendship with his like minded adventurer, Willian Landsborough.
