Am searching for Adam Ramage/Rammage/Ramadge, may not have been born in SA. One known son Robert born c1862 presumably in SA.

Charles Newman possibly born in Kooringa/Burra area c early 1860's.

Many thanks

Hi Mezza123

Yes yes yes please.

Have made some headway since posting.....to Percival Howard's Grandfather that arrived in Australia from Chile. However still have some questions unanswered.

Hi Dee, Wivenhoe, Jamjar and Judith

Before I complete this thread here is a quick update as follows:

Have been in contact with descendents from two of Mary Jane’s sisters, Frances and Louisa, and awaiting a reply from descendents of Isabel.

Dee...the lead from the NAA; all those Cornejo’s arriving here were in the 20th century. Have requested a search for the 19th century.

Contacted the NLA to see what information they had on the SA Spanish Muleteers in the 1850’s. They sent me a couple of newspapers articles, plus the titles of a couple of publications re the copper mines in the Burra area. (have learnt so much of SA history)

Have found one of the ships that transported 200 mules and 14 Chillian natives, the “Malacca” in 1855, plus a photo of the Portuguese Galleon. There was another ship in 1856 with 22 Chillian natives.

Re Margaret McGlinn, a family story is that she landed in SA after the ship was wrecked off the SA coast.

I will complete this thread now and if I decide to research the Ramage’s and Newman’s will make new threads.

Many thanks for all your contributions, especially you Dee..... in helping find my family.

Hi Dee

Sure does.....it has filled in the gaps and given me another generation to research....later.

Now to find if Percival stayed with his mum Mary-Jane or was reared elsewhere......and where does the Latimer name fit in. A trip to SA definately on the agenda.

You said that you had been to the Princess Royal station, was that a sheep station and in what area?

Many thanks
Ashe
