Dee's Scavenger Hunt... September 13th .... Everyone welcome to participate

[deeiluka]

From the way I read the newspaper snippet, JM, the "Margaret Brock" was doing coastal trips between Melbourne and Adelaide, in which case I have no idea of the ship he may have arrived on from England.

No Thomas SELWAY, convict.......

But there's a George, a Charles and a Robert......I shall have a peep at them......

i am unsure about convicts glad you guys knew 

Thomas arrived in 1853 so in thoery in 1841 he should be here with/without Susan

Toni, it seems that both John and William may have been sons of my Thomas. Only problem is that there was at least one more Thomas SELWAY having children in the area around the same time. There was a Thomas and Emma for sure.  

I need to find some baptisms for more children for Thomas and Hannah, including a John and a William, don't I?  


Yes, that could be William and Louisa in 1841 and 51......
