SA death in 1839 - MILLS

Thanks Cando.

There is a dedicated geneological library in Lismore, not far from here. I've found them very good in the past. I'll give them a try. If they don't have it, well if it is $15 for a single look up, or $25 for the CD, I'll probably buy the CD and donate it to the library when I'm done.

Or keep it and do look ups for 'chatters

Hi Nudge,
Did you know that the majority of the passengers, if not all of them on board the vessel Resource, came in to Australia under "A Free Pasage to Paradise". Where United Kingdom Emigrants applied for free passage to South Australia 1836-1841.

Thanks for the help, people. I will follow up those leads you have given me.

BTW, Thomas Noakes FLOATE and his wife Martha were Silvestra's parents.

Hi Nudge

Looking at the birthdates on "resource" passenger list, Thomas was only 12 when his son was born, Martha was 32. Do you have any other confirmation of these dates

Thanks

Thanks, David

Isn't that article fascinating! I have not found anything on William MILLS after his arrival in Adelaide. But maybe he was still alive in 1846. So Charles STEVENS and Silvester FLOATE never actually married - indeed, she uses her maiden name in the business they had. What surname did she use when marrying James DEVINE  in 1854, I wonder?

Do you know what type of business they operated?

Cheers

PS  Thomas Noakes FLOATE was christened 12 Feb 1792 at Great Chart in Kent. Martha CHITTENDEN was christened 6 Sep 1790 at Warehorne, Kent. They were married 5 May 1810 at St Matthew's in Warehorne, Kent
