Hello Freda - thank you for your help. The Samuel you have found is actually Samuel Seniors son.  My Samuel was born in 1825 and died (suicicde) near Truro in 1870. But thank you Maree ________________________________ From: Freda <Freda2340@hotmail.com> To: Minxy Halcione <halcioneminx@yahoo.com>; AUS-SAGEN@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 7 November, 2010 2:41:42 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-SAGEN] STOCKWELL Hi again See attached jpg which is extracted from "Biographical Index of SA" for Stockwell Samuel; William 1 and William 2. The Samuel shown is I assume, your Samuels son as he is born c1853. Pity, but it doesnt have an entry for the original Samuel nor say what ship he may have come on. regards Freda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Minxy Halcione" <halcioneminx@yahoo.com> To: <AUS-SAGEN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 06, 2010 6:31 PM Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] STOCKWELL Hello all I am tracing my family tree back from NZ through Australia and hopefully back to the UK but have come unstuck. My G G G Grandfather Samuel STOCKWELL is believed to have been born in England c 1825 but sailed to Australia at some stage (perhaps not directly)where he built a flour mill, ran cattle and founded a small town called Stockwell in around 1853. What we are having a great deal of trouble determining is when/where/how he entered Australia. No documents in australia that I have found, detail his place of birth or parents. His son William was my G G Grandfather...and his son Oscar (who left for NZ early last century) was my G GRandfather. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
