Joseph and James Williams

[faye b]

I am looking for descendants of two brothers Joseph & James Williams who emigrated to South Aust. with their wives on the " Star Queen " arriving Port Adelaide on the 30th Dec. 1854.
Their parents & siblings arrived at Port Adelaide on the " Epaminondas " 24th Dec.!853.
Later two of their Siblings Mary Ann Williams & Matilda Williams married two brothers,
Walsingham Weston Tuxford & William Wedd Tuxford.

Cheers Faye (written by husband Malcolm looking for Family History. )

This may be of some interest. Concerning Joseph Williams and the death of a Tuxford child.
