Tks Radcliff and Kay99,

It's a start and gives me something to work on...I appreciate your help..as yet, haven't been able to access the films but hopefully in the next week or so and that may prove a link or discount him. In the meantime I am looking at the Maritime aspect but that's proving just as difficult....but am confident we'll sort him out and am grateful for your input.....

Have you not found his arrival in Australia,the Victoria archives have a couple of Masons arriving ,


also William the mariner I mentioned in the previous post was apprenticed in 1815,to the ship Jane,and travelled to Jamaica as well as around the coast of England,he seemed to be at sea most of his life,
