Hi Dave

Something to ponder..

There are a few trees, the arrival appears to be 1852 ish.. But the main one only has William and no family, engineer not dyer.

If I have the correct family they may have been in Aus. by 1855/6..

I've ruled out the surgeon. Not sure if that 1851 family is the right one or not.

NSW BMD only have '1853' as dob. #494 so early in the year. It will be a baptism record with a dob probably listed. It will not have pob.

Can that one be found with the Volume number?

Probably Presbyterian.

Vol 52 1-end (1385) Bap 1853-1854 Presbyterian

Thanks Geoff.

There has to be an error in one of the records. St Andrew's is Presbyterian.

Vol 40 + 1-end (4521) Bap 1854 Church of England

Yeah, something not quite right, even searching +/- 1 reveals nothing else

 

[DaveHam9]

Tuesday probably for the library so I'll check Vol 40 and Vol 52. Should have William's occupation.

Might be something in TROVE for William.
