Hi Vicki,
Indeed I do know who you are then! I have a copy of the book compiled by Graham Smith for your family reunion in 1995. I remembered reading of Ruggy matthews who would be your ...Grandfather?
I still have Michele's email addy so will email copies of Sarah's death and wedding certificates. I previously emailed photos of Richard and Sarah but will add those as well for good measure.
I am descended as mentioned from Elizabeth Hartley Russell who married Henry Monley in Inverell. The poor woman went on to have 8 sons, I am descended from Donald Monley the second youngest, who married in turn Caroline Maurer. My Mother was their youngest child, and was May Monley prior to her marriage to David Brett my father.
Mum does most of the research in truth, I am the internet gal and pass things on and try to research stuff. We intend next going to the archives to search shipping records amongst other things. We were also going to try to find a death certificate for Margaret Diamond, Sarah's sister who married an Elliot in NSW. Possibly there is a bit more information on her that will help with 'our Sarah'.
You asked previously what issue there were from Richard and Margaret on another thread maybe? Mum said there was a William, we know of Sarah and Alexander also Margaret. Old John Diamond died sometime between Alexanders birth in 1830 in Grenada and Margaret's remarriage in England in 1834 (she was listed as a widow) but we have not been able to find his death listed anywhere. We are still trying to track that one down.
It is hard to know where to stop when researching isn't it?
