William Henry Eason

[patricia backman]

Am looking for information on William Henry Eason who arrived in Victoria in 1852 on board the "Priam"and died 1855 in the Kyneton area.

[KGarrad]

How old was he when he died?

There are a number of christenings for a William Henry Eason:

4 August 1833, Whaplode, Lincoln
William Henry Eason, son of Thomas Eason and Elizabeth Elperingham

27 February 1848, Whaplode, Lincoln
William Henry Eason, son of Thomas

19 June 1831, Teynham, Kent
Henry William Eason, son of Mary Eason

[AMBLY]

He was listed as  age 18, occupation Groom, Native of Lincoln, on the Priam manifest.

A Tree on A**Y, says his married sister Mary Elizabeth Jane  CORBY and her husband John CORBY were on the same ship. And they are listed as:

John CORBY 26, Farm Labourer, Native of Lincolnshire
Mary Elizabeth CORBY 16, Native of Lincolnshire

Cheers

We're reinventing the wheel here. 

This information as far as we have posted  is already known. June 2017 topic, lots of pages, but reply #37, page 5.

Hi Patricia,
What are you hoping to find out about William aside from what you do already know?

Dear Ambly,
Thankyou for what you have sent.  My reason for asking is who he married, if so who and date of death. I think there was a child.
I have a newspaper cutting from the "Kyneton Observer" and that is all I know.
Thanks
