Thanks so much for your interest.
The marriage in Tasmania of Albert to Alice is
indeed that of my folks and it is marvellous to
now have a date for their wedding.
The marriage of Kate Hall to William Kennedy
certainly looks as if it is Albert's sister as the age
fits perfectly!
I did look at the Victorian records on line without
much success but I will certainly take your advice
and look at the two websites your suggest.
Albert was not in England for the 1871 census but he
I believe he was still in England in 1868 when his
mother died as he was only 4 years old at the time.
The shipping records will most likely hold the key to
which members of the family immigrated and on which
ship they arrrived. They certainly did not go to
NSW first so it is either Victoria or Tasmanian.
Where to look next do you think?
