Hello all, Can anyone tell me about George Pickering, who came here in the early 1800s. I have a Pickering family who emigrated to Australia in the 1800s, and I am wondering if there is a connection. Liz Walker.
Hi Liz Where have you looked so far? There were three convicts by that name to arrive in the very early 1800s, but I don't know if they were related to free immigrants at all.

Hi Liz (and everyone else) I found some information on a George Picken/Pickering when researching someone else. I don't know if it relates to your family. A George Picken married a Martha Day (nee Hughes) in 1833: NSM BDM Index reference V18332672 74A/1833 PICKEN GEORGE DAY MARTHA JA Some notes I had written down (which must have been from the NSW Convicts Permission to Marry database): Pickering George 35 "Little Mary" 7 years free to Martha Hughes (Day crossed out) 40 "Wanstead" Life bond Scots Church Oct 16 You might like to look for him in the 1828 NSW Census under both these surnames. Sorry for the poor referencing - it would need rechecking.
