Travelling People / Re: Thomas Gray
« on: Tuesday 21 July 20 09:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi all Gray folk,

I am an Australian descendant looking for information on Henry Gray (b c1804) and children Sarah/Sally (b 1832), Leighton (b 1834), Drusilla (b 1836), Felix (b 1839) and Shadrach (b 1841), who emigrated to South Australia on the Osceola in 1851. I believe Henry is part of the same Gray family discussed in this thread - can anyone confirm?
 
Also, I'm looking to connect with other Australian descendants of Henry Gray in the hope of exchanging pictures/information on the family after their arrival in Adelaide. Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks
Tegan

Hi,

I am another descendant of George Peter Hammond and Eliza Thomas, by George Peter Hammond (jnr) and Hannah Huldah Hewett. I would love to know more about both Georges (snr and jnr) and their wives and children. I have so many questions!
How did George (snr) end up in Jamaica? What happened to his first wife, Elizabeth Bartlett - did she go to Jamaica too?
Am I right in interpreting that Eliza Thomas was likely a descendant of African slaves? Does anyone know anything more about her family?
Where did Eliza Thomas die - it looks like she did not make it to Australia with the rest of the Hammonds (on the Dorothy to Adelaide, in 1849). And if she did not come to Australia, who was the 'wife' listed on the passenger list of the Dorothy with George snr and three of his children? Was his middle daughter Eliza (who was 18 by this time) listed as his wife rather than daughter, in error?

Would love to connect with anyone who can help!
Tegan
