South Australia - Alice Symons ROWE

Yes I see what you mean about the dates Essie  will work with that for the time being. Four of Alice's brothers (William, Abel, Frances, and Samuel)came to New Zealand to perhaps that is where the Courtenay boys ended up.

Many thanks to you both for your help, very much appreciated. I have a few more queries on this family but will do them in a separate post
cheers
Julie
