Cornwall Lookup Requests / James Garrard LANDER, b c. 1801
« on: Thursday 12 April 12 15:14 BST (UK)  »
What we know - he was a carpenter,  married to a Jane Eddy, had several children (incl Henry Garrard c 1827, Robert c 1833, Isabella c 1834, Sara Jane c 1835) married a Hannah Lamb in London and had three more children (John Lamb, James and Eliza) before emmigrating to South Australia. His father was Henry LANDER, mother's name not known. The family story is that he was Cornish and that most of the children were baptised in Cornwall.

Isabella and the children of Hannah Lamb all arrived in Australia.

Any help with James Garrard's birth, ancestors or children who (may have) remained in England would be welcome.

Australia / LEA, Cabolum and Elizabeth
« on: Monday 25 April 11 13:58 BST (UK)  »
Cabolum and Elizabeth LEA arrived in South Australia on the Lady Lilford 18 June 1839 but I cannot find any other information on them.
George and Caroline (nee Whitmore) LEA arrived on the same ship and were early settlers of Thebarton. I am assuming that George was the son of Cabolum and Elizabeth, but am not certain.
I'd love some leads on who Cabolum and Elizabeth were and what happened to them once in Australia.
