Hi everyone,
I have found that Robert Pedder came to Australia in 1841 on the James Turcan leaving from London on the 23rd of July arriving in Australia on the 26th of November 1841.

London Evening Standard,m2 Feb 1846
"....on the 30th ult., in Thurloe Square Brompton, Frederick Hoffham Pedder, Esq, aged 54, a magistrate for the county of Sussex..."

Aline died 12 July 1885.

In 1841 FHP and Aline are living with adopted father Robert Pedder and children Maria and Robert.
Robert must go to Australia as there is a birth for an Aline Margaretta Pedder, 5 June 1854 at Himdmarsh South Australia, to Robert Pedder and Adelaide Barnett.

Thank you for your information, its all been very helpful, Robert did come to Australia and married Adelaide Barnett and they had I think 9 children and one of those is my great grandfather.
I don't know exactly when he came here to Australia, I've yet to look that up if I can find out where.
Regards Julianne

Hi Julianne,
I hope you are well sorry it's been so long I've been trying to trace the family back to Ireland but having no luck .I do know that James Joseph Lynch was born in Dublin in around 1836 and married Emily Edith Harrison on 22 July 1872 in Mount Gambier South Australia,they had John Berchmans Lynch on 10 November 1883 in Moorak Australia ,I hope that helps .

Hi Heather,
I am well and have been rather busy at too many things lately so I haven't even been on the computer of late either. Thanks for the info about where James Joseph Lynch was born, I have been trying to find this out for some time. Do you know his parents names? and also when he came to Australia? Did he come on his own or with his family, brothers or sisters maybe. There seems to be a possible link in Mt Gambier as there are still families by the name of Lynch in the area. I found some information one day that said James Joseph Lynch was a Shoemaker. There was still a Lynch shoe store in Mt Gambier until very recently so I am wondering if he did have other family come to Australia as well because he didn't stay in the Mt Gambier area for the births of all his children. He had moved to Adelaide by the time the last few were born, and lived there until his death.
So my thoughts are that maybe other family members such as brothers cam to australia too and they were involved in shoemaking as well. I have yet to make contact with the Lynch families in Mt Gambier to establish a possible link, but it is certainly a possible trail to follow.
If you are able to find out if he had any siblings and where they lived that would help our research greatly.
Thanking you again for the info and making contact with me again.

More information that may help, I have the following children for George and Frances Hulbert which I think are correct

Mary Ann Hulbert born about 1834
Matilda Thirsa Hulbert born about 1838
Rebecca Victoria Hulbert born about 1839
Josephine Theodisia Frances Hulbert born about 1842
George Edwin Albert Hulbert born about 1846
Adelaide Amelia Hulbert born about 1847
Morris Frederick Hulbert born about 1851

I need confirmation on exact birth dates and where they were born, to help with finding out when they all came to Australia.
thanks Julianne

I can't see a marriage but Family Search has a christening of a Josephine Theodosia Frances Hulbert  on 30 Jan 1842 at Urchfont, Wiltshire with a parents George Taylor Hulbert and Frances Hubert.

Edit the birth is on FreeBMD if it is the right family.

Thank you Kay this is the right family, I will try the FreeBMD sight and see how I go
