An interesting day and more of it to come. New listers may not be aware that in 1839 one branch of the Hawkesbury THOMPSON's set sail for Aus on the Bussorah Merchant. Other list members have relatives that were on board for the same voyage. Cousin Doug has now come up with lots of interesting information about the vessel whcih he promises to post to the list in the next few days. Wake up Linda BARRACLOUGH. Australian listers may also like to know that the trustees of the SS Great Britain were today awarded millions of pounds to ensue the great ships survival.
