George's death notice doesnt give anything up neither. Nor the marriage notice for when Ann remarried.

Long-shot..

One of the trees suggests he did some work (carving) on 'Marble Arch' abt. 1828, if this is the case he may have married in London..

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

It would appear that only George and Ann arrived in 1832. They baptised three children in 1839 with the first born 1832. The records should be on film so next week I'll try to find them. Birth date should be listed so it will be interesting to see if it's before 2 April, the date they left London, or say December 1832. No place of birth on those baptism records.

Oh. 2x Mr & Mrs Clewett now.

Can only see children for George & Ann - births and deaths in NSW.

Perhaps the others are James & Martha - deaths in NSW.

 

[horse]

I haven't really checked yet, but the're not too informative

 

[DaveHam9]

I hope the newspapers have something that helps.

I'll also chase Emma. She is not in the trees I've found.

I'd say that's the right marriage then Geoff. Sister as a witness.

I can't see George around 1796.

 

[horse]

George had a sister Emma, b. abt. 1790..

Allegedly

 

[DaveHam9]

Looks like it. Typical. Baptism for sister but not for the one in my tree.
