Hello
I am looking for assistance in finding the children of Robert and Maria Buck nee Robertson, married 1816 Lewisham. Records of some children born Deptford Kent. Robert departed for SouthAustralia in 1836, Maria in 1839. Indications are two children remained behind, john Melvyn and Mary Ann. I don't know if they were deceased.
Thank you

Many thanks Jennifer. My 4 x grandfather was indeed a master mariner. How do you find the answers so quickly? Would it be too much to ask if there would be any death records.
Mary Ann was listed on the Cleveland with her mother to sail, but it is generally accepted that she did not sail in 1839. Also I miss spelt John Mervyn.
I am in awe of your skills. I can reciprocate for Australian records.
