Nope - sorry if it has confused you!!!

I know everything about my GGG Grandfather - just thought that this was an interesting name coincidence that was pointed out to me, and investigating a little bit to see if it might be my GGG Grandad in the years he spent at sea before marrying my GGG Grandmother and writing his voyage diaries.

It doesn't seem to be, but this Parramatta guy seems a really interesting one all the same doesn't he?

[Edit] Just read back and it still doesn't seem clear. The two Australian RFH's aren't my relative, but as he has links with Australia it seemed sensible to follow up the name to check it wasn't the same person in Parramatta.

Hi Mads,
I agree with your "edit note" and think the team has followed up on it pretty thoroughly.
Hope your future hunting goes well.
Sue

Thanks Sue,

And thanks all for the help - it does seem like a rather interesting story - Victorian child abduction!
