Completed Census Requests / Re: St Thomas - Oxford - Floating Chapel COMPLETED

Maggie you are an absolute marvel, I didn't even know when I posted yesterday if you would still be active here, so to hear from you with such a detailed reply is a delight! Thanks so much for looking into that for me, that gives me plenty to go on... I love the story of the Boatmans' Floating Chapel!
Thanks again
Best regards

Hi Maggie
I'm wondering if you can provide any info about the curate at St Thomas when the boat was first brought into service, a John Jones. i'm trying to find any bio info about him, especially birth, death and place of birth...
Thanks and best regards

I have found your RW Smeall!
His name appears on a volume of ship arrivals from Hobart, with ships and passenger lists.
The book is online at LincTAs, here:
http://stors.tas.gov.au/CUS30-1-1
and the reference to RW Smeall is on page 36+37.
I'm researching John Rose and Caroline Rose who arrived on the Drummore as well, if anyone has nay info on them I'd be grateful.
Best regards

Armed Forces / Re: John Jones DYER - chief clerk to the Admiralty, 1857

Hi Judith
I’ve been following your trails on RootsChat because we have a common ancestor in John Midlane Dyer. He was my GG GF, through my GF Maurice Howard Dyer (b 1913) and his father Maurice Midlane Dyer. Are you a descendent of Maurice Midlane as well?
I’d love to find out why JML migrated to Australia, in 1871, and how they came to live in Gembrook, where my mother was born. If you have details could you share them with me? I’m not sure how to give you my email address, being new to the site... can you advise? Best regards
Rachael
