Robert Farlow b. 1778 was transported to Australia on board the 'Canada' in 1801. His wife Anne Dyer and child Maria traveled free with him. I have found all the information about Robert since arriving in Australia and am now trying to piece together information about his parents. I know his father was Robert Farlow b.1757 and his mother's name was Lydia but that is all I know. Would someone be able to help me fill in this void in my family history. I know that Robert and Anne married in Portsea in 1799. Thanking you in advance.
