James Greenland on the 'Sir Charles Napier'

[shume]

Its great to have the correct James Greenland confirmed by a birth certificate of his child. I couldn't find any record of Ruth Greenland after the stillborn death of their child in Tasmania. If he travelled alone to Victoria? there doesn't seem to be any record of her in the Tasmanian indexes. Some of the early death records in Tas are incomplete.

I agree with you Lee and shume.

Also, even though it is not a sound research pathway,  I do note that one of his daughters with Bridget was named Jane.

GREENLAND Jane
8117/1865
James & Bridget
At DENILIQUIN

We may take this as a tribute to his mother Jane as shown on earlier Wiltshire Records and matches with the mother's name on his DC.  The surname ROCHARD is a bit of a puzzle, however.

Twenty years between his marriages is interesting.
Where was he ?
Where was Ruth?

Thank you for this conversation about the James Greenland(s). They are ancestors of mine but I was always confused about who was who. I added them to my tree when starting my family tree on Ancestry as a beginner to all this hence made many mistakes and copied a few incorrect entries no doubt. I haven't been back to fix up this area yet but would love to.
Are you or anyone in this chat able to share with me their updated trees relating to this. I really need to sit down and work through this area of my Ancestry tree with all this new information.
Mine is titled "Greenland Family Tree". I look forward to hearing from anybody that can help get me back on track and headed in the right direction.
