Hi Tony good to hear from you - not sure if we communciated about Matthew before - hard to keeop up sometime with family history sites! Have got plenty info on him prior to sailing to Australia and would love to compare notes.  My son who was in Australia was far to busy to visit Matthews grave in Melbourne despite just staying a 15 minute bus journey away ----The youth of today!!  Hes back home now

Hi I know its sometime since the original post but keen to find out what happened to Matthew James Hunter when he arrived in Australia.  He was a cousin of my great grandfather George Roscrow - His dad died at sea. His mum was Mary (nee Roscrow) and when he started offending she tried to get him into the navy school at Greenwich, unfortunately not successfully.  My interest has been reawakenend by my own son who has recently travelled to Melbourne. Being able to track his flight and speak to him regularly has helped me adjust to this - and I wonder if Matthew's family ever saw him again.  Joseph Pines and Joseph Rhymes were his accomplices in the what seems like the very petty crimes he was prosecuted for and they travelled wth him to Geelong

Would be grateful for any information and happy to share anything about his family in England

Thanks

Suzanne Pringle (nee Roscrow)
