Hi everyone! I've just stumbled across this message board and wanted to say hello & to share my 5 cents worth I guess...
Charlotte Montague Heaney & William Long were my 3 x great grandparents. I have been going through of the research my mum had done & we've found that Charlotte & Wiiliam were married on 24 January 1842 - the same day that James & Louisa were removed from the orphange. So I'm guessing that Charlotte had to prove she could take care of & provide her siblings with a stable life?? Charlotte & William were married in Hobart & moved to NSW around 1852.
But there seems to be another sibling unaccounted for. Catherine Heaney would have been 8 or 9 when her parents died, but I couldn't find her name in the list of children admitted to the orphanage. I wonder what happened to her?
