Sussex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Was Thomas Hilder from Sussex?

Thomas Hilder who married Elizabeth Hayhoe in Tasmania is my great-great-grandfather.  I'd be keen to get more info about his origins if you have them, esp sources/evidence.

Many thanks,

Australia / Re: Henry Dowling and immigration to Tasmania and Victoria in early 1840s

Hi there

I am a descendant of Thomas Hilder and his son Richard.  I saw your posts wondering if the story about Thomas coming from Suffolk was wrong - I too had wondered about that as I could find no evidence of his birth there.  Did you ever find a record of his birth in Sussex?

Richard Hilder was not always reliable - his story that Thomas arrived in Tasmania in 1841 on the Arab was a bit off - actually 1842 on the Indian...

Grateful to have any info as I'm trying to put together a book of family history by the end of the year so would like to have as much evidence as possible.

Many thank,
Jo Hilder
