    1. CENSUS 1841 WHERE NEXT?
    2. David and Carol Cain
    3. I have a copy of two census records, and looking at the signature on both records, they are the same as the signature on the Marriage Record of my husband's ancestor William Wright. The details are: RETURN NO. 126 - ILLAWARRA - BELAMBI. The name of the person at the head, charge of etc. is WILLIAM WRIGHT and the Proprietor is "THE LATE COL. LEAHY". It is dated at Fairymeadow on 5th March 1841. RETURN NO. 566 - JAMBEROO - "CEDAR GROVE" JAMBEROO. The name of the person at the head etc. is WILLIAM WRIGHT, no Proprietor given. It is dated at Cedar Grove on 12th March 1841. I was wondering if there is likely to be more information somewhere about William and other occupants of these properties. His Marriage record states he was born in Sydney, however, because my husband's family history suggests that he was adopted, we haven't been able to find his birth in 1832 or thereabouts. We have searched many records over the past few years. There is also an interesting connection, in that Cedar Grove was land granted to William Davis convict who is also on my side of the family history and has been researched thoroughly by a relative of mine. Any help will be greatly appreciated as this has been one big headache! Sincere thanks Carol Cain caindc@magna.com.au
