Dear fellow listers, I am tracing my family history in Australia and I have discovered that Private Andrew Fishburn/Fishbourn/e 35th (Portsmouth) Company under the command of Captain John Shea set sail for Australia in 1788 on the Alexander or Friendship (depending on which book you read). He married Sarah DONNELLY 24 May 1795 and had 2 sons Andrew (b. 24.8.1793) and WILLIAM (my line b.6.9.1795). I am led to believe that Andrew was linked to the Ship builders Fishburn and Broderick in Whitby England. Information I have states that Andrew was a carpenter and he received extra pay for this. He built a number of dwellings in Sydney Cove and Norfolk Island. Additionally he also did maintenance on the convict ship Gorgon. Any information relating to Andrew and his family or interested people researching the same line, I would love to hear from. Regards, Peter F Fahey Brisbane
