Looking for arrivals in Australia (NSW) for Lydia French Aylwin & George Aylwin

[carolbee]

Nor did I (know about the ship's names).  I find the 'new' FamilySearch quite difficult to navigate.

Here is George AYLWYN's actual arrival, per the William Shand into Hobart, 19 August 1822, having left England 1st May

Yes, a big thank you to Merlin for opening up that resource! I had no idea it was there!  I have also been struggling with this new familysearch.

Thanks for the item about the ship Judith!  Priceless!

Hmmm

We are still not seeing anything about Lydia (b1814), nor anything of what happened to the children of George AYLWIN and Harriett although NSW BMD does have this death:

1835 #V18351742 19
Mary A AYLWIN, INFANT  (No parent names given)

If this is the child of George and Harriett whose birth (1824) and baptism (1828) was given by Gerry then she would have been about 11.  The term "Infant" was sometimes used to denote a minor.

Of course, we are still not sure if this is the right man

Yes, I saw this death too, and wondered if it was their daughter. And yes, also wondering what became of the children of George and Harriet! 

So far Lydia is somewhat of a mystery woman!  Can't find anything on Trove about her, and starting to wonder if she travelled under another name.

Is this Lydia related??

I did find this in my searches too, and it did cross my mind it was her, because you would have to wonder how many people there could be with this exact same name. However, it is a bit out of area for my/our Lydia French Aylwin who was born in Surrey, however, ignoring that she could have married Vale, it didn't work out (or maybe he died?), and then she took off for Australia. If this IS my girl, she would have been 19 at the time.
