Seeking any family members and additional information.
Many thanks.

  • Ann,

    Attached is a copy of his certificate of Freedom in 1834. It gives a good physical description of him. Do you have any knowledge of who his parents were?

  • McCoy,

    Thank you so much.

    Unfortunately no. After arriving in the colony  he got into a bit of bother and did more than seven  years on Norfolk Island which was an absolute hell hole. He married Honorah McCann in 1846 and they had either 8 or 10 children.  He died, aged 80, in Sydney in1891. 

    We really appreciate your help.
