Hi Catherine, Patricia Salter, my husband Alan Salter, and Ivy Trott's husband Norman are all descended from John Salter who's brother, Smuggling George was transported to Australia in the second Fleet. He built a house in Parrametta which is now a natrional museum, and then went to Tasmania.. His nephew James joined him in 1825 and his descendants intermingled with the Ransleys, one married a Gittus, and the rest seemed to have married half the population. You may have had this from Ivy Trott or Patricia Salter, both of whom have been researching this longer than I have. Incidentally, while researching I came upon the name HINDS. Have you come across this, as it wasd my name before marriage, and I cannot see where they arrived from. We have also lost three Salter boys after the 1851 census John Salter born 1842 Kentisbeare Devon. Henry Salter born 1844 Kentisbeare William Salter born 1848 Kentisbeare. Could they be in Australia? regards, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "catherine" <langdonresearch@iprimus.com.au> To: <AUS-TAS-SURNAMES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 10:48 AM Subject: [AUS-TAS-SURNAMES] Tassie research surnames > Hi all, > > I am researching the following surnames > > Butler > Kiddle > Langdon > Kelleher > Smythe > Jackson > Beams > Brain > Salter > Browne > Bumford/Bomford > Burn > Bush > Ransley > Gittus > Grice > Hanley/Hanly > Jessop > Sonners > Lerverton > Neale > Orr > Pidgeon > Reid > Roe > Ward > > Would love to hear from anyone researching the same names > > Cheers > > Catherine Cruse (nee Langdon) > Tasmania, Australia > > Researching : LANGDON, SALTER, JACKSON, GITTUS, BEAMS, FISHER, ORME, BUTLER, KIDDLE, HATFIELD, LANGLEY, GUIVER, BEZETT > > Administrator of the following mailing lists: > > ORME > LANGDON-UK > GUIVER > KIDDLE > BUTLER-AUS > HATFIELD-AUS > LANGLEY-AUS > LANGLEY > SALTER-AUS > FISHER-UK > BEAMS > GITTUS > AUS-UK-LINKS > AUS-UK-LOOKUPS > > To subscribe to a list please send a 'subscribe' message to the name of the list with -L-request@rootsweb.com on the end of the list name. eg ORME-L-request@rootsweb.com > > > ==== AUS-TAS-SURNAMES Mailing List ==== > Link your Webpages to the Australian Families WebRing - lets unite!! > The navigation bar is located at: > Http://hometown.aol.com/romniroser/myhomepage/newsletter.html > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
