William and Elizabeth Falla had other children here, William Akin b 1839, Robert John Lee 1841. William was a millwright/joiner. b Prestonpans. East Lothian. Came here in the Portland in 1837 to Sydney. I have not been able to find the Portland. No record of this journey, but it must have been one of Langs ships. I knew he had the Fortitude. I have tried many google sites to no avail. If you can find this family, well and good. Can you also let us know when this tome is ready. robyn shaw. toowoomba. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susie Zada" <szada@zades.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [GEELONG] The Larpent > Hello Mary, > > Ian Wynd has written a book on J D Lang's Immigration Scheme - 3 ships to > Vic, 3 to Qld, and some passengers on a ship to NSW. > > Ian had pretty much finished his book before he died last year.
