Hi Raylen     

Welcome aboard !

Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution ... and yes, I absolutely think it's "them" !

Transcribers have had a "ball" with this HEASMAN surname ~ some variations have been especially peculiar.   The "Henderson / Anderson" one though is rather easier to sort out  ...  with the Norway birthplace.

That was a great find Raylen .... and thanks for your support [loads of excitement eh?]

Kind regards
Lu

Dear "Naughty" Jenn   

..... yeah ....  I suppose if the Norwegian "could", then he "wood" ...   and it seems .... he "did " !
[Don't reckon g-g- gran "wood've" had much time for writing songs though  ... eh?]

Cheers

Well there is good news and bad news re the latest in this wonderful saga.

The good news is Jane must be been quite well preserved and good looking to pass herself off as 41yrs-especially in those days.

The bad news is this family is really bad at maths.

Just been trying to find Amelia and James Bradley-no luck so far but did find his baptism:
Christening:  10 AUG 1828  North Wingfield, Derby, England parents Job Bradley and Mary Berrisford.
This actually makes him 43 yrs old not 38yrs when he married Amelia who was really 20yrs old not 17yrs.

Do you think that Amelia was passing herself off as 17yrs because of Jane wanted her to pretend to be younger so Peter Anderson didn't realise she was a great deal older .He might of truly believed that young George was really Jane and William's son and perhaps wanted children himself.
Are you going to download the marriage cert-it will hopefully tell us how long Jane was "widowed"

Also found another child for Rachel Parkin
Charles Leslie Parkin born 1893 Albert Park

Hi Annie   

I might have to go back and have another look at that passenger list for the "Alexander" ~ where it said "Mary Ann - 7 weeks"  ?     

The baptism records d.o.b. as 1 Dec 1841 which sort of indicates she may have been born during voyage ?
I wonder if those pass. lists from PRO-VIC are the emigration officers lists at point of departure ?   ("7 weeks old  would mean she was born say, early July 1841) ?

Cheers

Sorry hit the button too soon

I also checked the shipping list it did say 7 weeks old

but  as I say this family is really bad at maths

Hi again,
Funny that James Bradley's Christening has just been found and noted on this thread, as I had just had a look for this as well, and also came up with the Christening of James Bradley as 10 August 1828. In the christening record and also on his marriage registration to Amelia Heasman, the parents are named as Job Bradley and Mary nee Beresford. I found their marriage in the IGI as Job Bradley and Mary Berrisford on the 7th April 1828, some four months before his christening.
So yes, assuming that James was born a month or so before his christening, he was NOT 38 years of age when he married, he was approx. 43 years of age. This is of course assuming that the James born in 1828 did not go and die, and another child born a few years later was named after the first born, although I have not been able to locate another James Bradley.

Hi again,
Oh my goodness,, I hate to put a possible cat amongst the pigeons, and I will keep my possible???#### info to myself at the moment, just in case I am barking up the wrong tree, but can anyone tell me if there has been a death located for either  James Bradley or Amelia Bradley nee Heasman.

Not on this thread ...
Only the marriage - no children or deaths found so far.

Don't keep us in suspense
