My 2nd gr grandparents and 2 children, left Ireland and via London, arrived in South Australia
in July, 1846 aboard 'The Canton'
THOMAS COLBERT born abt 1816, in Waterford - Marriage place and date unknown.
HONORA CURREN born abt 1821, in Waterford -
Their children:
JOHN COLBERT born abt 1842, in Waterford

The family settled in Kapunda, South Australia and there were 6 more children born to them
THOMAS died in 1900 in Kapunda, South Australia and
HONORA died in 1904 in Kapunda, South Australia
Any info we could find about this families roots in Waterford, would be eagerly accepted. Thanks
