Thomas PLUMMER and Harriet TAYLOR

[DaveHam9]

I can't find a tree and I can't find them in early NSW records so I'm assuming England for now.

I wonder if this is Harriet, she was a minor when she married...

Harriet Taylor
Birth Year: abt 1838
Age: 2
Arrival Date: 16 May 1840
Vessel Name: Thomas Lowry
[James 37, London, Cabinet maker. Harriet 34, Liverpool, Upholsterer. James 11, London, son. Harriet 2, Liverpool, dau. Rel: Prot']

Native places a bit of a concern. The list looks a bit messy so could be error.

Thanks Geoff.

For now we have to assume the death reg is correct and her parents are James and Harriet. We know roughly when she was born so the arrival looks good. It may have nothing to do with Shropshire.

Looking feasible...

Thanks Geoff :biggrin:

I just checked his Funeral notice in SMH and it did not name his residence.

That possible DOB of 1827 for Thomas has a couple of trees suggesting Islington, Middlesex...

It says he had arrived 3 years earlier.

Yeah, I saw the note on the image. One can only assume what his motive was :biggrin:

 

[horse]

Well, no UK censuses from this one, Dave...

Seems Alderman was a master mariner.

Ah! This could get technical if he had travelled there 3 years earlier
