Hi Shari
Have just received a long e-mail concerning your ancestors from another source - copied in full below.
If you would like to send me your e-mail address (via private message) I will pass it on to the writer of the e-mail who can contact you direct.
This is that e-mail
Hello Chris,
I have just had a quick look at the Rootschat, and thank you for the info of
what you hold. However, quickly glancing through the messages, I would like
to point out a slight error in your response to Shari. you have the point
that Joseph married to Sarah, but it is not the Joseph s/o William and
Sarah, as he did not marry under the name Joseph.
The Joseph that married Sarah HOSE in 1814 is in fact the s/o James and
Bridget.
A friend and I did a lot of work on this family about three/four years back
and Joseph s/o Sarah should have been entered as Stephen, and you will find
Stephen's second marriage to Margaret ANDERSON in Ore 5 July 1827. His
first marriage being on Tristan da Cunha, the date eludes me at the moment,
but it is thought that William wouldn't recognise the marriage.
This was all sorted out with the help of a will and other sources, but out
of interest, Stephen would never collected the £50.00 left to him, as he had
to return in person within six months to collect it, and as he was over in
OZ at the time, it wouldn't have been possible, even if he had known about
it.
If it is possible and Shari could contact me directly, I can put her in
touch with other descendants of Stephen, who are over in Tasmania as well as
other places in OZ.
Sincere regards,
Frances
Over to you
