Roger Percy - migration COMPLETED (I think)

[Wiggy]

None at all at all!!  Clutching at straws that's me. 

 Robyn (regross) has found evidence of him being here in 1855 when James F Hyne his brother-in-law was looking for him via the Argus in Melbourne.    Reckon the two of them came for a recce?        Can't find Roger coming either time - but James, both.    I think he stowed away! - just kidding.     it is very mysterious.    Still looking - everywhere!

Just wondering - absolutely no idea if it is a possibility - but could Roger have worked his passage as a member of the crew?

It's a thought isn't it?         He was an Ag. labourer/ quarryman in Devon - don't suppose that matters.   Is there a special way to attack Crew members?

Will look into it tomorrow

Thanks to huge help from Robyn, progress may be occurring.  She suggests that Roger Percy came out in Dec 1854 called 'Perry' on lists and stayed while his brother-in-law went back to bring the families of Hyne and Percy (Persey on lists)

Sounds good to me!  Can't think why I didn't think of it!

Any advance on Roger's activities after that would be very welcome.   It is believed he worked on Yan Yean Dam construction, and the family definitely lived in West Melbourne at the later stages of his life.

Be good when we can verify it!!  Am very hopeful though.   Thanks for your early help on this matter - set us on the trail.
