I'm an Australian and I'm researching my gg grandparents Willam AMOR and Ann Priscilla AMOR nee WHEELER.
Amor Family
William AMOR born 1837 Bromham, Wiltshire England was the seventh child born to parents George AMOR b1805 and Rebecka ABRAMS. The couple had 6 other children: 1.Mary Amor 1823, 2.John Amor 1824, 3.Carraline Amor 1827, 4.Ena Amor 1829, 5.Ann Amor 1834, and 7.Elizabeth Amor 1841.
Wheeler Family
William AMOR married 13 Oct 1856 Chittoe, Wiltshire, England to Ann Priscilla WHEELER born 1835 Arnecliffe, Westbury, West Wiltshire England to parents John WHEELER of Bremhill and Ruth unknown. The couple had 3 other children: 1.Frederick Wheeler 1833, 3.Jane Wheeler 1835, 4.John Wheeler 1840.
In Australia
It is purported that William & Ann AMOR came to Australia when they were newly married via ship the 'Beejapore' from Yorkshire C1857. Interestingly it took 9 months at sea to travel to Australia.
William & Ann AMOR had 11 children in 18 years - 1.Elizabeth Jane, 2.George, 3.Ellen, 4.William, 5.Annie, 6.Frederick William, 7.Rebecca, 8.Martha, 9.George, 10.Robert and 11.Henry (my g gfthr) all born in the State of Victoria, Australia.
Any connections out there? Allycat, Queensland, Australia.
