Just registering my interests in the Portsea area. I have ancestors with the following surnames and would love to hear from anyone who has any connection to, or knowledge of, them.
Williams - before 1820 Grose " " Lush before 1780 Venson " "
Apart from Williams I can't imagine that they are particularly common names, in fact Grose and Lush sound more like descriptions!
Regards,
Jen

I have a Ruth Venson Williams who married Stephen West. No information on them, except they had a son, David Venson West around 1812 in Sussex. Not very helpful, still looking for them.
