Hi Km1971
The link that you provided is definitely my family as Matthew Phibbs Ormsby was married to Eleanor O'Neil and came to South Australia pre 1853 as their son Francis was born here in Adelaide. Matthew and Eleanor's son George Francis was my 3 x great grandfather.
I googled the 12th Regiment of Foot and this website came up with the 12th Regiment having gone to the Eureka Stockade confrontation.
I have been unable to find how the Ormsby family came to South Australia and hopefully one day I can break down the brickwall.
Cheers Deb
