James Greenland on the 'Sir Charles Napier'

[shume]

Its great to have the correct James Greenland confirmed by a birth certificate of his child. I couldn't find any record of Ruth Greenland after the stillborn death of their child in Tasmania. If he travelled alone to Victoria? there doesn't seem to be any record of her in the Tasmanian indexes. Some of the early death records in Tas are incomplete.

I agree with you Lee and shume.

Also, even though it is not a sound research pathway,  I do note that one of his daughters with Bridget was named Jane.

We may take this as a tribute to his mother Jane as shown on earlier Wiltshire Records and matches with the mother's name on his DC.  The surname ROCHARD is a bit of a puzzle, however.

Twenty years between his marriages is interesting.
Where was he ?
Where was Ruth?
