Cornwall / Seeking Robert WARE b c1806 to1810
« on: Friday 25 May 12 02:00 BST (UK)  »
Robert Ware.. can anyone tell me about my GtGtgrandfather born c1806 to 1810  sailed from East london in the "Dumfries" in 1839 as crew (steward ??). I have his details from the time he jumped ship at Adelaide, South Australia. Family talk had him from Cornwall originally but there is no verification. I have drawn a Blank. Hope someone can help :)Aussie-g

to sladmay, hi, cousin somewhere down the line... received reply re Eleanor born 2 years before Robert{my relo} Strange but I live in lower Blue Mts {Blaxland} and have been to Norfolk Is twice and perhaps again this year... walked around the Cemetery many times .. not research but of Hist. Interest. Maybe we can meet or swap emails. Seems that you, like my sister and I, haven't got further back than William and Janet Cheers :) aussie-g {Graham}

I have William Bell, born about 1806 in Middlebie, who married Janet Thom(p)son )born about 1810 in Middlebie).  The marriage was in Annan, about 1831.  I am still guessing about William's parents and Janet's also.
