Hi Trish, My gggrandfather married my gggrandmother in Adelaide in 1878 and on the certificate it says he was a widower. So, as we do not know how he got to Adelaide or from where and now who with!!!!!!!!. Did he marry in England (Cornwall perhaps) or Wales and come out here with his wife, with children, or did he come after her death? I am hoping to find an answer, a little answer will do <g>. Thanks for you e-mail and good luck.

He was my gggrandfather. I don't think there is any direct link to me but will keep you in mind for when i am tracing this line back in Cornwall. My Thomas married in Cornwall in 1856 to Maryann Gilbert. I am not sure when he dies but i know she died in 1913 in Queensland.. They settled her after arriving in Aus pre 1859. Though i had there shipping records but seems like i don't. Will have to get on to it.. and let u know. I know they had 9 children from the years 1859 to 1875. My ggrandfather was the eldest named William Thomas Davis dob 15.12.1859 and was born in Ispwich, Qld. If i can be of any help don't hesitate to contact me. > > > Regards > Trish Caldwell > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
