I am researching my great great grandfather William HAYES, who married Jane MCCLURE at Hadspen in 1861. Children were William born about 1861 at Longford, married 1. Elizabeth ROWE in 1885 at Deloraine, 2. Florence Louisa CORNICK in 1893 at Penguin, and 3. Agnes Eleanor/Helena BRETT in 1900 at Ulverstone. Jacob Henry (Henry) born 1863 at Longford, married Ann SMITH in 1884 at Ulverstone. Edmund born 1865 at Longford, married Agnes KAINE in 1889 at Penguin. Charles born 1866 at Longford, died 1867. Theophilus Adair (born Samuel) born 1868 at Longford, married Harriett Louisa DICKER in 1904 at Penguin. William senior was a convict, supposedly from the "Anson", who left Jane and the children about 1869, the three boys were subsequently placed in the Queens Orphanage, Hobart in 1872. There is no William HAYES listed on the "Anson", but there was one on the "Asiatic", and several events, places and dates suggest they may have been the same person ? Does anyone have any connections or information ? Ray Hayes Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Researching HAYES, NORTON, CLAY, DEACON, DELVE, SIDNEY, McCLURE, THORNE
