Thankyou Meryl for creating this list and making it possible to access help from your many listers. I beleive the count in 2003 was something like 600. I have gained a lot of help over the years and a huge help this past fortnight. I am on several lists, many are dormant, but this one is is just nice going, with lots of helpers some from behind the scenes. To make use of my post, I am listing my Tasmanian side of our family. Stating from the earliest arrivals. John Cox, Pte, Soldier of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, www.HanslopeCox.org.uk Married Ann Brooks, Norfolk Plains (same time as their eldest daughter) who arrived with her mother, both of Warwickshire, of the same name, she died on arrival (they were convicts), at Port Jackson, NSW 1791 on the Indiaman "Pitt" then on to Norfolk Island to Van Diemans land in 1814.aboard the "Lady Nelson" with six children, born Port Jackson and Norfolk Island.
