Hi there
Although i am very late to this thread, i am hoping that someone spots it.
I am descended from Annie Geary (via her daughter Kate Bishop, from her third marriage).
I believe the Anna Maria Bolger that Quaker George Walker wrote to at Westbury Tas would probably be her but the marriage date(s) i have are 1842 (and 1846).
I am trying to find out what happened to Robert Bolger - i believe he drowned.
I knew that Annie had gone back to Adelaide on "Punch", but i have a Tas marriage for her from 1851 to Robson Ebenezer Thomlinson who was a trooper and was transferred to Encounter Bay. I don't know what happened to him (yet) but she was married again to Port Elliot blacksmith George Bishop in 1858 by the (local) Bible Christian minister. I think i have found him in West Terrace Cemetery - died 1869 aged 48. She didn't have much luck with husbands it seems.
She died Annie Maria Bishop in Adelaide in 1910 aged 86 years.

Hi Kiya!

Have checked some of my records - I think Thomas may have been born in 1797 (earlier than I thought, anyway), and yes, it is the same family we're looking at! Was interested to see in 1891 Cornwall census that Maria Holland (nee Clarke) was still alive and living with her duaghter Mary Mathews (although the ages seem to be out by a couple of years - wondering if the ages of the 2 girls in the 1841 census are around the wrong way).
Hope you have discovered this already:-)

Hi Kiya!

Am currently in the process of checking my own records (in Adelaide, South Australia - I am now in Melbourne), but believe your Thomas Holland might be my g.g.g.g.grandfather! I am descended from a T. Holland who was from Truro, Cornwall. His son, William, emigrated to South Aust in the early 1860's (if my memory serves me correctly), and was a shoemaker in Adelaide. I know that there are records of properties owned by (my) Holland family which were discovered by another family member a few years ago. No doubt you will be interested in those if you haven't got them already. Will let you know if we are looking at the same family! If so, would be most interested in any info you have :)
