Woke up early this morning and couldnt go back to sleep so guess what i did?
Looked for passenger lists :biggrin:

This is the closest i could find for these ones....... and still dont know if its them or not. They didnt have a child when they arrived did they?

Thanks gibbo. Don't think I snore that loudly. :2fun: Actually, I don't.

I didn't have the burial records.

The 'Bound for SA' CD lists that one on 'Bussorah Merchant' with spouse Jane so that's why I ruled that one out. Perhaps we had better see if more births in SA can be found for William & Jane. And a search for a death for Jane. If neither can be found then possible 'Jane' is an error.

 

[DaveHam9]

Even if they married 1 Jan 1848... I'd say they arrived without a child.

There are several trees. None list the arrival. Only one lists all 12 children I have. Several only list one of the children because that's the line they are following.

Yes, I did that because I expected them to be on that vessel.

We need some SA and Vic. look ups.

 

[gibbo]

We need help :biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

Just a little. :2fun:

I know of several people with the SA CDs. Who should I ask?

HARRIS William arrived in SA 1849-03-21 aboard Pakenham from Liverpool via Plymouth [Source:6,20]

So that's not the William and Jane who arrived with child (Wm.?) in 1848.

I've been trying to find a baptism in England for one about 1847 1848 with parents William & Jane. Lots if you go back to 1845.

Ask the usual one :biggrin: Or you could ask the other ones :2fun::2fun: Toss a coin:biggrin:

 

[DaveHam9]

I'll give you know who a try. :2fun:

 

[gibbo]

Ok then :biggrin:
