The only details we have of Manuel Muniz is his marriage cert to Louisa Sims in Creswick. There are 2 children born before Manuel and Lousia married , not unusuall for the time, There's no information of when Manuel Muniz arrived in Australia. Its hard to know about anything other his marriage cert as he could not read or write. Dont know if the children he had listed with Louisa Sims where his , or if he addopted them ?? There are children registered to Manuel Muniz and Louisa Sims. He was supposed to have a brother Francisco Muniz , [my ggg granfather] they where thought to have come! to Australia from Portugal. No trace of either arriving. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
