George married Ursula may Davies in Newtown Montgomeryshire of Wales, where he listed his trade as Saddler. He immigrated to Australia in September 1852.Can someone help me to trace George from age 9 until his marriage. eg; Where did he live and with whom?  Would he have had to do an apprenticehip for this trade and if so where would I find these records.This is my first attempt to post a message so thank you in anticipation.
