Frank POLLARD of Summertown, South Australia

[ctrunfree]

Back again.  The death certificate which arrived today (it must have come out on a passenger ship too!) confirms that Frank's mother was Jane ROGERS, not Jane POPE as claimed in the Biographical Index of SA.

I've also discovered that Frank POLLARD's older sister Phynella actually was the first of the family to make the trip, arriving in Port Adelaide on the Eastern Empire in 1863 as an 18 year old servant to the TEMBY family, some 13 years before the rest.  She married Edmund PATERNOSTER and lived to the ripe old age of 92.

Well spotted Cando-there's a typo in http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/easternempire1864.shtml which meant it would have been a very long voyage!
