Kathy, have you tried the NLA Trove, there may have been a write up in the paper of the day Ros Found this re the "First" person: and Mrs. Mary Parrington, at the age of 86 years, who was the first white woman that came to settle on this end of the Peninsula. The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889-1931) Friday 14 November 1902 p 7 Article Ros On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 7:38 AM, Kathy <mouse97@adam.com.au> wrote: > I am mainly curious on this but my gggrandmother was born in 1842 at York SA named Mary PARRINGTON i have her father morher siblings marriage etc....but  rumour in the family was that Mary was the first "white" child (sorry if this offends anyone) registered on the yorke peninsula would there be anyway of proving this?? Also later in life  before 1869 and I assume before married in 1859 the story goes she was walking along the beach and she found a teapot full of tea! from a wreck on the sand we still have the teapot  although it has suffered a little damage in the handle and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could find which ship it had come from. Any ideas or information greatly appreciated. > TIA > Kathryn > Advertising on AUS-SAGEN is forbidden by Rootsweb Rules. > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-SAGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
