[Abbyrose]

Would anybody be able to check to see whether they can find any information about William Savage (born c1839) and Alexander Savage (born c1840) who were born in Westmeath and who travelled to South Australia together in 1855 on the 'Agincourt'.
Thanks

Hi Twinkleberry

Thanks again for the information you have been able to find.  Having done a few calculations and checked the information I already have, I am certain the information you have found regarding the deaths of Alexander and Sarah Savage and their family and the marriages of both Alexander and William ARE all details about my family.  I do not think, however, that the arrival from overseas information about William and Alexander Savage is about my ancestors as the ages at the time of travel do not match the ages at the time of marriage.

I found some information that I found in the SA Maritime Museum over 25 years ago - when I first started to trace my tree.  In that information I found a William Savage (16) and Alexander Savage (15) who arrived from Plymouth on 2/12/1855 on the Royal Albert.

If it is possible to check to see whether this information is correct, I think the dates will match up better with the birthdates of the William and Alexander that you have provided the other information for.

Once again, thank you so much for the information you have found so far.  I look forward to hearing from you again.

Kind regards
Abbyrose
