Just to let you know that I have put the following message on the Board, but just in case you don't receive a copy from Rootsweb/Ancestry, I thought I'd just send one off to you direct.

James (my g-grandfather) emigrated to Tasmania, but Michael & another brother John were around the Williamstown area of Melbourne.
