Hi
I would like to say thank you all so much for the messages about the Ormsby Family. I tend to believe that Matthew Ormsby is the possible father for my ancestor Matthew Phibbs Ormsby (1). The death notice in the South Australian Register on 27th August 1873 has Liverpool Mercury please copy. Would someone please be able to see if a death notice appeared in the Liverpool Mercury Aug/Sept 1873??? Matthew Phibbs Ormsby (1) died 7th August 1873 Kadina South Australia.
Thank you so much
Cheers Deb

Hi Km1971

The link that you provided is definitely my family as Matthew Phibbs Ormsby was married to Eleanor O'Neil and came to South Australia pre 1853 as their son Francis was born here in Adelaide. Matthew and Eleanor's son George Francis was my 3 x great grandfather.

I googled the 12th Regiment of Foot and this website came up with the 12th Regiment having gone to the Eureka Stockade confrontation.

I have been unable to find how the Ormsby family came to South Australia and hopefully one day I can break down the brickwall.

Cheers Deb
