Hi Marg and List Yes I am one of those fence sitters. I have many questions and brickwalls and very little time at the moment to visit libraries etc to find the answers. However I thought I would at least post the names I am researching. MARKER, LEWIS, PAGE, BARNES, MOORE, MORRIS, ETTINGER, HAMMOND, COPAS, NORRIS, SKINNER, CHERRY, ARCH The Marker family are descended from Henry Marker, a convict whom I suspect was assigned north of Sydney. I have no record of him fom his arrival in1839 in the colony until he appears on the AACo's records in the early 1860's. He was not assigned to the AACo as a convict. The Moore brothers were well known in the Maitland area for their cricketing prowess. If there is any Marker or Moore descendent out there I would love to hear from you. Thank you MargaretB for the interesting items about Teralba. Catherine Marker
