Andrew Fishburn
« on: Friday 09 June 06 06:54 BST (UK) »
New user (Australian) seeking information on Andrew Fishburn who travelled to Australia on the First Fleet as a marine/carpenter serving in the Royal Marines 35th(Portsmouth) Company. I have fairly complete information on his time in Australia prior to his death in Parramatta in 1796 and his descendants but have no information on his birth (c.1760??),birthplace, parents etc. I have been told but cannot confirm that records for the Royal Marines were destroyed in the bombing of Portsmouth in WWII.

I have often speculated that there could be a link to shipbuilder Thomas Fishburn of Whitby who built the Earl of Pembroke (which became Cook's ship Endeavour) and several other vessels including the storeship Fishburn for the First Fleet.
Hope someone may be able to assist in this matter.

Hello Doug

I also wanted to know if I was related to Thomas Fishburn. It took a long time and it looks like I am. However in all the research I have done I don't have a single Andrew Fishburn.
Did you know there is an area in Whitby (where the Earl of Pembroke was built) called Fishburn Park?
My mother's maiden name was Fishburn and guess where I now live - Whitby!
Best of luck with your search. I would advise a look at the family trees on Ancestry for a few pointers as most of the Fishburn tree is on there now in one tree or another.

Regards
Andy
