Renfrey Family - Queensland

[davierj]

Request information on a Renfrey family that apparently immigrated to Queenland some time after 1871.   They were:   George Harris Renfrey, born and christened in Gwennap, Cornwall in 1838, parents Thomas Renfrey and Grace née Harris.   George's wife, Mary Ann renfrey, née Dinner born about 1838 in Stoke Climsland, Cornwall, parents Thomas and Ann.   George and Mary Ann had a son Thomas Renfrey born about 1870 in Stoke Climsland, Cornwall.

George's brothers John and Richard may also have emigrated to Australia - see my previous post.
