Hi Anthoula, thanks, will do when I get home.It has been an amazing journey and I couldn't help but feel so sad for the young Thomas at 20 in dreadful hard times, what a terrible time for him and his Mother. If I can get copies of anything you can think of in Aus please don't hesitate to ask me, as I know how expensive this can be and I appreciate the groundwork you have all done so far. My Mother's cousin Bill has an amazing Bennett collection and his wife has done a powerpoint presentation for him. I will get copy for you and send it once we are in contact. Cheers

Hi Anthoula, still learning how to used Rootschat, still travelling, now Scotlnd, home in Aus next week. Very excited to hear from relative. Visited Chillingham, St Peters church today and took photos.Would love contact with you tot ell you of my visit to follow in Thomas" footsteps. One of his children, William Harmsworth, was my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather was William Bennet, and my mother Mavis Bennett.Will attempt to do PM so I can get your email as it is blocked due to privacy. I live in Mebourne.Thanks for prompt reply.It's funny that Although Thomas was a convict, his ancestors all trned out to be very upstanding citizens.
