That’s so Awesome! Welcome as well - What shall we have for Christmas lunch this year? haha

Mum and I are scrolling and searching, it’s so interesting!

What have you found about your side? Do you know much about George’s history? When did he marry Ann?

Our Lawrence was a school teacher who paid for him, Sarah and 2 children to come over on the dreaded Beejapore in 1853.

Unfortunately on either the voyage or when in quarantine for months when it landed, they lost their 1 year old son named Francis Rockliff.. 😢

We’ve even found that Lawrence Rockliff’s Dad (Sarah’s Husbands Dad) was a Hero of Waterloo! (Also named Lawrence..)

Please keep in touch! Mumma says Hello Family!! x
