Hi Jamison & Sue,

Jamison, so your line is Phoebe Caroline Day (nee Hatcher) & James Day of Narrandera NSW? Which one of the 13 Day children is your branch?

We’ve been told John & Janet Hatcher died in Urana NSW, the family could not afford to place a headstone on John’s grave and that may be why no one can locate his gravesite.

I think John may have died 6/5/1879 while Janet Hatcher died sometime after 1883 as told by a relation, who also told me John, arrived on the Neptune II. I did some research myself at the library and found out the ship sailed from Ireland with a load of convicts, it arrived in Sydney 2/1/1838. John would have been about 20 years of age, his name was not amongst the people listed on the ships convict list so only other options could be he was either a stow away or a crew member of that ship.

My family line is via their son John Hatcher & Mary Ann J. Luckie & then via Edward William Hatcher & Ivy Marion Hall.

I am building a photographic family tree, I wonder if you may be able to share any old family photos with me please? When my tree project is finished I would be happy to send you a copy if you would like one.

Thank you very very much Suffolk Sue for the information on John Hatcher’s siblings, I have been having a lot of difficulty finding these people and what you have listed above is pure GOLD, Well Done! I would love to find out more about when & where William Hatcher & Phebe Grace died, who the children married etc, if you have access to that info please?

Kind regards

Stephen

Hey Judith, that is just the most wonderful news!

I have been struggling to find these records, I'm so grateful to you.

The extra names on the 1851 census about the two grandchildren are a welcome clue to help trace the Ferrey generations.

Well done on finding this is pure GOLD! 

I wonder if Henry, Thomas or Sarah Hatcher ever got married? and if they have any other descendants still in Hampshire?

Regards,

Stephen
