Hi Omega,

Stupendous stuff!  Thank you so much! 

I've just been checking out www.salehurst.netfirms.com.  Potentially a great website, but I suppose it is still early days, since there isn't much on there yet.

One small point please ... re Robert baptised 30 Oct 1800.  I have Robert born 12/05/1805 Salehurst, which fits in nicely with the details recorded on his voyage to Australia.  Please let me know if you find another Robert, since there is a chance the 1800 one died in infancy.

Very best wishes and many thanks,

Peter.

Hi Peter
These Frenches are in my family tree too.
I initially thought they were my direct line, as a Charlotte French 1778 (daughter of John French 1746 - on your list) married a William Pearson - he had a son William, who I thought was mine, but it turned out that my William was son of Thomas Pearson, who was brother to the William Pearson who married Charlotte French.
Hope that makes sense.

Hi Snowy,

Yep!  Thanks for that!  If you feel like adding some more detail, that would be welcome too.

Many Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter

Re reply 11,regarding Elizabeth & Juliet,i had found them for you but read your "Tree" wrong,put it down to a senior moment 

The only Robert i can find was the 1 born 1800.I looked on another website,they also had the same one.

From the SMI

4th June 1826 at Salehurst

Robert French & Elizabeth Poiles

Extra info,Robert aged 23 ,Elizabeth 18  (B)

Witnesses Jn P & Edw Heathfield.
 Maybe it was a case where Robert was`nt sure of his age.

Hi Omega,

You are indeed a star!    Your very kind assistance has been invaluable.

As for Robert FRENCH, I am now going with the 1800 baptism.

Regards from particularly warm New South Wales,

Peter.
