Many thanks, Elaine, Wendy, and Ruth. What a lot of nice people one's meets on this list! That Bristol 1841 entry looks very promising, Ruth. I have been given a lot of details - some of them conflicting! - from various descendants of the prolific MOUNTJOY clan, and have tried to sort them out with the IGI and census entries, etc. But I haven't been able to find any promising HONEYCOMBs on-line, so this is a real step forward. My primary interest at present is to establish whether Jane's father William was the William HONEYCOMB who attended the Highton Wesleyan Church in 1867. We are working on a history of the church, and the three MOUNTJOY brothers whose run included the site of Lorne were very active in that church for many years. It looks as if Caleb's wife Louisa HARWARD was his first cousin. Laurence and his first wife, Mary Ann (HEARD) both arrived in Victoria on the "Prince Regent " in Nov 1852, with their cousin Richard MOUNTJOY (of Ceres) and his family. According to one of Richard's descendants, "Mary Ann died and was buried on the roadside near Naracoorte, as they walked and rode fron Adelaide. This info was given to me by a descendant of Caleb Mountjoy who says that it is right. Caleb is supposed to have entered Australia in Adelaide, (no records of this though) so we are not sure whether Lawrence was walking to Caleb or on his way back." Laurence and Jane were married in 1855, according to the Victorian BDM index, but I don't have any details. The death date for William HONEYCOMB, and his age, come from the Digger - Pioneer Index. I don't think the SA indexes are on-line to give me the date of Mary Ann's death - does anyone know? With much appreciation Marion
