Have you got death certificates for either? Info from them may help pinpoint year and place of marriage, also year of arrival. I see they had a son born 1862 at Inglewood. Have you got this certificate? Sandra.

Hi Everyone, I am researching two names which occur in Australia & New Zealand which you may have an interest. My paternal name WAY comes from Dorset around the areas of Tolpuddle, Milborne St. Andrew, Poole, Bere Regis etc I also have an interest in WAY in Lambeth Surrey (London) and Jersey in the Channel Islands. My HADAWAY line is basically a Kent name. If you think we could be researching the same and wish to compare notes please get in contact. Best wishes, Derek WAY (Snodland, Kent, England)

Hello List, I am researching the history of the ship Lysander which brought my ancestors to Melbourne from Ireland in 1841. I have found that in 1860, towards the end of it's life, it was put on exhibition in Melbourne prior to being broken up. An advertisement said that it lies berthed at "McCallum's Ferry adjacent to the Gasworks". I am assuming this was somewhere in the Yarra River but would like to know where. Can anyone help me pinpoint it's location please? Barry Howard Victoria. Aust.
