Hi Deb, Thank you for your interest in the Bramble saga. I have some photos of the family so will check for your Jane Elizabeth. Apparently she married Wm Buckman in 1874. According to the news item it was her husband who was walking home with her father, Wm Bramble. . Wm Bramble Snr was a convict per Mary II,1822, who served out his sentence of 14 years plus an extra 2 years for assault committed soon after arrival. Reputed to have a rather bad temper and his penchant for collecting other people's, albeit unbranded, cattle has earned him the title of "the old curmudgeon" from MargM and myself as we researched his movements. Despite his several appearances in court rooms I have not found that he actually served a sentence for his cattle duffing. If you would like to exchange notes, please contact me offline. Cheers Marje Port Macquarie. > Hi Marg & Bramble researchers, > > Have just caught on to William's name being mentioned.
