Mahalia RUMBELOW, Victor Harbor

[alijet]

Hi there,

Mahalia was born 5 Dec 1840 in Mildenhall, Suffolk and emigrated with her parents and siblings on board the Pestonjee Bomanjee to Victor Harbor, Australia. I have been able to follow her parents and siblings lives but have come unstuck with Mahalia. Can anyone tell me who her husband was. I have a choice of 3 and am very confused as Mahalia Rumbelow can't be that common a name. Mahalia died 21 Jan 1879 at Encounter Bay.

Thanks and regards

Alison
