Hi Tracey
I am a direct descendant from Charles COE Snr, the unfortunate convict who arrived on the Katharine Stewart Forbes in 1830. I have read through your initial posts re Sophia COE who and can confirm that my great great grandfather Charles COE Jnr born in 1847 in Berrima was indeed a brother to your Sophia EVANS (née COE).
Charles COE Jnr m Elizabeth PARKER (née HAMBLIN) whose son Sydney (Thomas) COE m Ethel Pearl TATTERSALL parents of my grandmother Lilian Madge HARRIS (née COE).
I have been researching the family for many years and have found so many unverified sources that I decided to retrace much of what has been recorded via publicly available online family trees - very few items are correct. The info from the PEARCE descendants you mentioned in "A Convict Maid" have been verified though there is only a small amount on Charles COE there is a significant history of Elizabeth McGuinness and her family.
I will add what I know with sources soon. Looking forward to clearing some brick walls!
cheers Deb Kelly
