Hi JAP     

re 3 :    Have just  checked our Nat. Library catalogue and yes, looks like VIC assisted passengers are available.    Will see what's to be had for "Alexander"  1841.

Cheers

Sorry Ladies

Couldn't wait any longer -here is the marriage of Amelia Heasman to Mr Bradley.

Note Peder Anderson is the witness

Annie,

Good heavens!

Peter/Peder ANDERSEN/ANDERSON turns up again.

And Amelia's mother (Jane Elizabeth AYLMORE) is alive (as it says with the written consent of her mother, her father being dead).

There's no substitute for certificates!

It makes one more and more suspicious about Elizabeth Jane ANDERSON, b 1871, parents Peter ANDERSON & Jane Elizabeth AYLMORE (despite the fact that Jane would have been ca 52).  And also the death of George HEASMAN, 4, in 1870 - purported parents William HEASMAN & Jane Elizabeth AYLMORE, informant Peder ANDERSEN (Aumarire was thinking that George might be the George born to John BALLI & Mary Ann HEASMAN in 1865).

Twists and turns, twists and turns ...

Good Morning

After a good nights sleep I have just looked at the Marriage Cert again for Amelia and realised the other witness is J E ANDERSON!-Jane Elizabeth perhaps???
We also have a address for them now in Fitzroy -does anyone have access to Wises Directories for Melbourne,hopefully we can follow them that way.

Hi Annie   

WOW !    Thank you so much for Amelia / James Bradley marriage.

Yes, I also spotted the J E Anderson /Andersen signature ... I think we may be able to compare that perhaps with the writing in Jane's "plea to the orphanage" letter .... can't remember whether it included her signature ?    [Had to dive off to the Nat. Library, so haven't had a chance to look - but will do so shortly].

Thanks again Annie.

Regards

Hi   All     

After trawling  through the mish-mash of shipping records at our Nat. Library this morning, on the very LAST record I viewed, and with two minutes to spare before closing time, I found this ...........

"ALEXANDER"   from Plymouth 30 August 1841
Arrived :  Port Phillip   27 December 1841

HAISMAN / HEASMAN family :
William (25)  Carpenter,     Jane (22)  wife
Jane E. (3 years)   and ....

             ~      Mary Ann  -  aged  7 weeks     ~

[JAP]

Lu,

That's brilliant!  7 weeks, eh.

JAP

[Lucy2]

Hi JAP   

Yep,  7 weeks !    [Glad you gave me that wee nudge (ha ha) back at post # 231 - didn't realise these records were available over here] !

Must pop back to Nat. Lib. next week - there seems to be lots of "stuff" for VIC .... also noticed that they had SANDS directories ... [and "McGregors" ? directories ~ does that sound right]?

Cheers
Lu
