Hi There!
You have been so amazing in the past I thpight you may like another mystery to help me solve. His name is Jeremiah Brown.
Jeremiah has no parents and I need some help finding them, please.
This is what I know of him so far;
Jeremiah Brown was born at Llanidloes in Wales in 1802, Jeremiah had enlisted in the 4th Regiment of Foot; had married Mary Burns in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1828 and they were sent out to Van Diemen's Land in 1831 on the ship "Larkins". Jeremiah was with the 4th. Regiment of Foot and one of the guards of the convicts on board.
They had 12 children in 28 years.
1. Mary Brown (1830-1913) never married
2. George Brown (1832-1923) m. Mary Ann Garrard (1833 - 1891)

In 1851, when the 10th child, Frederick Wesley was born, Jeremiah was Assistant Superintendent of convicts on Cockatoo Island.
Jeremiah died in Surrey Hills, Sydney on 18 December 1860 at the age of 58.
Mary died at Taree in New South Wales on the 8 May 1905; she was 96.
