Hello to all that wrote about VARNEY/HASTHORPE, Was it Lorraine who originally wrote to the list? I am a direct descendant of Joseph Samuel (Jack) VARNEY & Clara/Clary CLARKSON/ MCGOWAN. Joseph Samuel VARNEY was a convict, arriving on the "Baring" in 1819. Clara was the daughter of convicts. One of two sisters to Isabella CLARKSON & James MCGOWAN. Clara and Joseph both had previous liaisons. Clara had four children to GEORGE HARVEY, and Joseph had a daughter with a MARY, (I am afraid I do not have the notes of her details and name in front of me at the moment - but will find them.) One of her stepfathers was Thomas SAUNDERSON/ SAUNDERS/ SANDERSON SANDERS. Her mother, Isabella CLARKSON had FIVE "husbands", two of whom she married. Isabella Clarkson had a total of 12 children (10 living) and 7 step-children. I have also recently been in contact with members of the HASTHORPE family and have been given extensive information from them that I previously did not have. If those of you interested, would contact me off list, I would be pleased to help, and pass you on contacts within your specific family.
