Hi Caroline,
Some time ago I was doing a bit of family history on Ancestry.com and got back to a William Bentley marrying a Phoebe Chapman in Wellingrove in 1859. Phoebe Chapman would be my great-great- grandmother. Her birth was listed as "circa 1840" and my wife said she was probably aboriginal (as single white women were thin on the ground at the time). Never previously knew anything about aboriginality in the family but I was wondering if you would know if Phoebe Chapman was aboriginal. Phoebe had Alick (buried Alexander), who had Norman, who had Alex who had me, David Alexander Bentley. I have Jack and Sally and I have discussed the possible aboriginal connection but I would like it to be more than a guess.
