Hi guys

For some reason I haven't been getting notifications of this thread!

I wondered about the agent - Jeffrey WATKINS - who selected Gwenllian as suitable for emigration to Oz.  Does anyone know much about this process?  Would he have lived locally to the people he selected, or did such people travel around and spend time in Oz too?

The reason I ask is that there seems to be only one Jeffrey W in Wales in 1861 (i.e. just prior to Gwen's journey) - and he lives in Breconshire!

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
