Have you any other identify information for your David MUTTON?

There is a David MUTTON who arrived in 1847 and another who was a butcher and lived at Yongala, however no passenger information for the latter.

  Hi Cando, Yes, David Mutton arriving on Tantivy.   (parents  David Mutton and Elizabeth May are "mine").   Only trouble is, two people I know of claim him as "their's".   So, I have been trying to find the right David Mutton, father of Eliza/Elizabeth Mutton who married George Canty. They lived at Wallaroo Mines at the same time as David Mutton who married Mary Sheay.  David Mutton, who went to Yongala does not  fit.  Are you Mr. Hooper?   I have made contact with you before.   Regards, Fleurieu.

No I am not Mr Hooper  

According to the marriage index Elizabeth MUTTON's father was William MUTTON.
