Title: George WEBB
Post by: nicky c on Tuesday 22 June 10 16:18 BST (UK)
I only found this guy yeterday, so we dont have many details, I have traced to my tree here in uk, but after that we dont have much.
George Webb baorn 1806 Downton Wiltshire
arrived in Australia 29th May 1831 on board the ship Eliza, we have figured that he was transported for something we are guessing for the Swing Riots., we think he died 1832, dont have any further details
Also a William Webb born 1809 Downton Wiltshire , he arrived in Australia on board the Eliza , we dont when or any further details.
Can any one very kind enough to give us some idea on where to start.
Thank you .
