Thanks for the info Bettye. I seem to remember you helped me with some information a few years ago. I am searching for John Taylor and Mary Davies and family. Their son John and wife Martha, came to Australia, and settled in Vic. I've searched all the Victorian and NSW Archives with no luck. I will try State obituaries, fingers crossed. If one of them was a convict, I would be laughing, with all that info at my disposal.
