Joseph Hatwell came to Adelaide in 1839 on the Resource, and married straight away a young lady named Elizabeth Floate that he met on the boat, a ship board romance! She came with her parents, but Joseph was born in 1812 and was travelling alone. He said on the shipping records that he as from Portsmouth, but of course it is before birth indexes, and although I have looked for him, so far without success. Could someone with more expertise have a bit of a dig for me please?
