Hi Pauline,

Thank you for asking. Yes, Josiah Born 21 July, 1829. He was one of the survivors from the Earl Of Charlemont Shipwrecked near Barwon's Head Victoria, Australia. From the information we have, he was born in Yorkshire & followed his older brother George to Australia - he was on the ship with his brother Charles.
I am after information of his parents, especially his father's (Richard Bean) ancestors - I can't seem to locate the right Richard Bean since there's so many listed in the Yorkshire area born around the same time RIchard was too (1788). But am very grateful for any information you may have.
Many thanks
