Request for look-up: South Australia
« on: Wednesday 22 November 06 14:07 GMT (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if anyone could give me more information about the origins of Mary Ann Conway, who arrived in Adelaide in April 1838 on the Lord Goderich, and married William Edwards on the 5th of July that year.  i know a fair bit about her and William after they were married, but it's the 'where did she come from and why' bit that I'm after now.

thanks.

Hi Kenking,
No mention of ages in the Bisa.  They married 5.7.1838 in Adelaide.
It says William died in the 1860's ENG   arrived: dep NSW 1840's.
Nothing much else to what you already have, regards Sashar.
