Hello Ray, My Hart is a bit of a mystery, William born about 1823, presumably England, married Ellen Mahoney (Mahaney) in London between 1818 and 1823, they had 3 children, Emily born July 5th 1843, Mary Elizabeth born August 27 1845 & Ellen born August 24 1848. Emily died in 1846, I have St James C of E, Melbourne for both her birth and death. Ellen was baptised at St Stephens, C of E Portland, I think she had a child William Hart in 1882 at Eastern Hill, can find no further info on her. Mary Elizabeth, my g grandmother was also baptised at St Stephens, Portland, she married John Pierce (Pearce) in Tarrawingee on October 18th 1860, she died in Wangaratta on September 24th 1919. Any further info would be great. John & Mary went on the have Emily abt 1863, died at Oxley in 1864, Ellen 1863 - no further info, William born 1865 at Tarrawingee - died 1930 at Moyu, Mary Emily born Tarrawingee in 1867 - died Melbourne 1926, Alice Elizabeth born Tarrawingee August 25 1869, died Melbourne 1942, John born December 30 1872 - no further info, Thomas Hart Pierce born Tarrawingee 1875, died at Corowa in 1919 and an unnamed male born at Tarrawingee in 1872. Sorry this is so long but you never know someone out there may have a connection.
