If there are any older children, perhaps born in England, that may indicate Robert and Rachel were married before arrival in Australia.

I will work through them all and then I can see where they travelled across Victoria and NSW. I couldn't find Kildare on any online map of Vic. so searched for Kildare St and there is one in North Geelong near Bell Park so perhaps that was a settlement in the early days. Jennifer, may I ask another favour please? Could you see if there is a marriage record for Robert Laws JACKSON to Rachel STAPLETON? Up till your email I couldn't find a wife for Robert and the PROV online database has been out of service since the weekend so I am unable to check the Immigration Records to see if he arrived with a wife or not. thanks you so much Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Crockett" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] William and Robert JACKSON > Hi again Ann > > This might be Robert's child Robert.
