thanks ever so much trish.I hope you see this message.I have only just started using roots chat and I am only just finding my way round.The info you have given me is bril!Much more than I expected.Iam trying to find out as much as I can about their early life in Queensland.I think they were very adventious and brave.Thomas settled in TOOWOOMBA,after first buying land at ARAMAC.he did not stay at Aramac because he encountered opposition from the "natives".It must have been some journey from Toowoomba to Aramac.looking at a map,it is a good way.thanks again for your help.I am sure I shall be posting more cries for help as I progress.kind regards kath

Hi folks,
        Sorry I have not been back,I have been having a brake from the SIMS family tree.Thanks ever so much for your info. Thomas did arrive in 1863,setting of in october 1862.I thinf you have found the right family,I did not know about samuel though.I shall look into that.I have also found they had a child,Elizabeth,after they arrived.I am now trying to sort out the father of Thomas.I was told he was James Sims and I found a James Sims, in the correct county who had a son, born correct date,called William,but then I sent for Thomas and Elizabeths marriage certificate and on it,his father is Thomas Sims!Any way thanks for finding him in australia,I now know they all arrived safely,I shall now trace tthe line.They might be more help needed there!Thanks again,
