>I am currently researching Hoadley, Hoad, and Manns family history, early settlers of the Tumut area 1840 to 1870. In particular I am interested in Mary Ann Hoadley, nee Packet, born 1816 Ditchling, Sussex, arrived in Australia 1838 on the Amelia Thompson, accompanied by her 3 year old daughter. Her husband died on the voyage. The daughter, Mary Ann who later married Henry Hoad, groom to Governor Fitzroy. I am keen to contact anyone reseaching these names for exchange and provision of further information, i.e. if Mary Ann Hoadley [b.1816] later remarried, where she died/ was buried and any details of ancestors back in England. > >Bev Stewart
