Dianne, there is a thomas george munsor who married a margaret chapple he was born in tas. may be a son. They had several children. Keep in mind if he died in 1850's it may have been he took off for the goldfields and may even have died there, there are a number of deaths in the indexes as unknown. Some 4000 unknown deaths are listed on the pioneers index although some have a first name many do not. Also if he just dissappeared would she have been able to marry again. We have a wife who dissapears and our only clue is a listing on the husbands second marriage certificate that he had been a widower since april 1853. We have not to this day found any sign of where she died. good luck let me know if you want any of the chn of thomas george. good luck linda edwards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dianne Vickers" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 5:28 PM Subject: [GEELONG] Missing: Munsor/Capper/Scott in Geelong > Hi everyone, > > Hoping someone can help me with some apparently missing bmd's. > > My ancestor Thomas MUNSOR (MUNSON, MANSON, MANSER, MUNSER) b c1808 > arrived in Tasmania 1838 (convict).
