Hi all,
More info on George Joseph Pike. George said he was 28 on the Hotspur, where he was the Schoolmaster on board the ship.
He was Church of England. He arrived in Sydney on 5/12/1863. On 24/12/1863 he was getting married to a Sarah Louisa Hillock, whose parents also came from the Cavan & Amagh region.
On his marriage certificate it said he was 26 yrs old. He died on 12/11/1877 from a sulky accident aged 42. Which means he was born around that 1834/1835 time. Said his place of birth was Dublin. (Father & mother unknown on his certificate).
Hope the extra info will help.
Kind regards to everyone
Therese (nee Pike)
I have updated the original post with this information.
