Hi there,
I hope I am posting this is the right place.
I am try to find out any information on Johnny Ahang born 1825 who came to Australia in about mid 1850's. I do not know where he entered Australia, but do know he married an aborigine woman known as Margaret (Maggie).....Maggie had a farm Seaview Farm, which was Section 127 in the Hundred of Way. This I believe is in South Australia....any information will be appreciated....if there is any information on Maggie's maiden name would also be of help.
Thanks in Advance
