Congratulations Marilyn .. this is a great list even if I have been a bit quiet lately. Am about to head off to Singapore for a few weeks to do Granny duties .. I'm not really that old but it's a hereditary title! So will unsub from one email address and resub with my other one! In the meantime I will be still looking for connections to SHIPWAY and THOMPSON in the Hawkesbury and wider area. All SHIPWAYs and over the 'line' in Wiltshire. THOMPSON .. Samuel (1793-1875) & Maria CHAPPEL (1783-1863) who migrated to AUS per 'Bussorah Merchant' 1839. Their dau Wilmot Melhuish THOMPSON married John SHIPWAY (same ship), son of John SHIPWAY (1793-1855) and Eliza ALDRIDGE/ALDRICH (1792-1849). Obviously they are related to everyone on the List!!!
