Wan(g)ford - Castle Rising PR's or census
« on: Saturday 18 June 05 13:34 BST (UK) »
Would some kind soul look up the parish records for Castle Rising for the name Susan Wan(g)ford born about 1821 father's name supposedly William.

She won't appear in the 1841 census because she was in sunny Tasmania on permanent holiday but her family might.

According to her convict indent (not very readable!) her mother's name was Ann and she had 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

Any information would be of immense value.

Kindest regards

Jen in Australia
