hi Cazay


Thanks for finding James certainly looks like him, haven't seen the proachives site before so I will add it to my favourites and maybe able to find other rellies who came to Australia, although I think I can probably count them all on one hand.  ;D

Realize it's been awhile, but the link;

doesn't seem to be active any more.  I'm also looking for info on James Shorter and his arrival in Australia in 1852. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob
