Looking for English roots of Thomas Heneker & wife Jemina came to Port Adelaide Australia on "Hooghly" from London on 17 June 1839 with 7 (?) children. He was my great great grandfather. Would appreciate any info.

Hi Revally,
Welcome to Rootschat! ;D
A large family descended into Australia and quite a few are and have researched Thomas et al. For example according to the Obit of their eldest son James, he (James) had 9 children - 4 died as infants or children, while the remaining 3 sons & 2 daughters between them gave James 24 Grandchildren and 40 Great-Grandchildren by the time he died in 1917!

It seems they hailed from Kent, England and Jemima's maiden name was WILLIS.
Cheers
