Apology for saying rellie arrived in Portland, 1837. It is under - Portland, Duke of it was apparently one very fast sailing ship. so to all those who checked me, sorry, it is the Duke of Portland, 1837, which got my rellies here, not 'Portland'. humble apologies all round. robyn shaw. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robyn Shaw" <mrshaw@bigpond.com> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] The Larpent > well there you are. not everything you are told is true. > > he was certainly responsible for my lot i mean why call the kid born on > board, john dunmore lang craig, craig is last name. of course we had estril > and other strange ones too. thank you for that. i will find that under > misinformation corrected...the file is overflowing. > your aunty mary had 22 children was the first. she had 12 but i am sure it > seemed like 20 to visitors. > robyn shaw. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Susie Zada" <szada@zades.com.au> > To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 7:05 AM > Subject: Re: [GEELONG] The Larpent > > > > Hi Robyn, > > > > Lang brought out three shiploads of immigrants to Victoria and three > > shiploads to Queensland, plus there were 26 dispatched on the Duke of > > Portland which sailed to Sydney in 1850 - that's the closest I could find > to > > anything mentioning "Portland" !!!
