whithams in 1851
« on: Wednesday 02 January 08 09:07 GMT (UK) »
We cannot find the WHITHAM family in 1851 (or 1841) :'(

Elijah WHITHAM m Charlotte WELLS in 1843 at Wayland.

They were in Australia by 1859 when a child was born here.

Possible shipping records show them on the "Fairlie" in 1856 with William 10, Jane 7, Isabella 6 but there is no records of those children marrying or dying when they arrive.

When Elijah and Charlotte died the records show both had father's called John.

Can someone else out there find them in 1851.

Alex and Jan
