Hi again, Well, I downloaded an image of Richard Stevens' death certificate, and in brief: as we know he died in 1918, aged 65. He was living at Mt Korong Rd, California Gully, Eaglehawk/Bendigo. The cert stated he had been in Victoria for 42 years, so he arrived in 1876 too, or thereabouts. A big ooooooooh, please. He was married a second time, only three years earlier. Oooooooh, his poor wife.
So, do I put up another post to see if anyone has access to passenger lists CDs?
Sue, I was interested in doing rubbings myself, as we have some convict ancestors' graves in Tasmania that I would have liked to 'rub'. However, on checking the Net for instructions, it seemed it's discouraged these days as often the headstones are damaged, or they are knocked off their plinths. And no, I don't cook chook these days; it's easier to get a barbecued chicken from the supermarket - mine wouldn't taste as good. Jenn, I too found that marriage entry for John and Nanny in 1849. John and Ann's first child was born in 1850, so it fits, but I can only presume it's them.
Thanks again, regards Irene
