For many years I have been attempting to find the roots of my gt gt grandmother. She was most probably a survivor of the fire aboard the ship "Hibernia" when she was only 14 or 15 and arrived in Tasmania in May 1833 aboard the "Adelaide". She married in 1841 in Tasmania and died in Melbourne in 1898. It is generally agreed that the gaps in her death certificate were deliberate, possibly to obscure her origins. Convict heritage maybe? A new theory has been suggested that she could have been a daughter of Mark Ashby Bunker, who was transported to Tasmania in 1817. He had earlier had a son in 1815 and subsequently married the mother, Elizabeth Burgess. The theory suggests she was pregnant when Mark was convicted. Almost all research on Mark Bunker centres on his life in Tasmania and the records are silent on his wife's life in Bedfordshire following his transportation. Did she have any more children, did she remarry, where and when did she die? Any assistance appreciated. Murray Reid NZ
