dee I sent an email to the girl who put up message on the link that Cando gave me and I got an answer back.  She is a descendant of Thomas Underdown and it gives his children there is a William could that be the W Underdown do you think.  Will I copy and paste what she sent me or will I email it to you all?

The info in the email is a match for this dee.

This is the notes for Robert
Robert had seaman’s ticket 18287 issued in London on the 6/3/1845. He went to sea as a cook and deserted in St John on the 30/6/1845. He then went to Australia.

A Robert ‘Underground’ was admitted to Kyneton Hospital on 13.10.1882. He was 57 years old, a labourer born in England, married and his residence was at Tylden.

This is the notes for Thomas
Thomas joined the Royal Navy in 1838 for 7 years as a seaman. Seaman’s ticket no 389198 issued in London on the 9/12/1847. He went to Australia. His name is recorded incorrectly in the arrivals from the ‘DERWENT” as Edward Underdown.

Rachel was hospitalized for Tuberculosis on 20/10/1869 but survived and was discharged on 8/11/1869. She was hospitalized 3 further times (in 1874, 1887 & 1895) for ulcered legs.

Thomas died of softening of the brain.  I wonder what that would be called now?
