Hi All I'm new to the list and I'm an East researcher from Australia. I have been trying for several years to find some info on my 3xgreat grandfather James East born circa 1809 in the UK. He arrived in Tasmania as a free settler about 1827, as far as I know he was on his own, no other family members with him. I have not been able to find a birth for my James. I tried a different approach a few days ago, he had named his first daughter Ann Titmouse East, which I had always thought was a strange name to give a child. So I searched Titmouse marriages and found an Elizabeth Titmouse had married a John East (b circa 1775) on 20 May 1802 in GUILDEN MORDEN, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ENGLAND. So I am thinking that this could very well be a connection to my James East. Does anyone out there have any connection or info about this family? A kind lady suggested he information below; The records for each place run from the 1500's through to the mid 1800's, but between 1807 and 1813 the children of John and Elizabeth East could have been born at villages whose records aren't on the IGI - perhaps over the border into Hertfordshire. Regards Kath

Hi, the Tasmanian archives also show that he names two children Springford , Richard in 1841 and Springford in 1843 , which of course may mean he is naming them after someone in Tasmania , and perhaps Thomas S is also Springford . There is a James East who arrives on the Aguilar in 1824 but the next James to arrive is in 1839 . There are two sightings of James East in the Census of Tasmania for Launceston for 1842 and 1848 which might prove interesting as might the wills of James East which are now downloadable ....... life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kat53" <karaf.13@bigpond.com> To: <ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 29, 2009 10:16 AM Subject: [HRT] East Family Research > Hi All > > I'm new to the list and I'm an East researcher from Australia.
