If you were going to be so snipey why use this time ? 1. Did I ask you specifically if you had the biogs at home? I DO have access to these records at my local FHS . I could have phoned our library and asked someone to check for me Cant see that happening now ........................... 2. The reference to his children's non-recorded marriages in SA does not answer my questions. If I knew their names I could have looked up freebmds or whichever and maybe got some clue 3. My enquiry said he and his wife and children arrived in 1848. Obviously they were already married/born elsewhere! With 10 kids I would hope so 4. Just because _you_ can't find him in the 1841 census doesn't mean he didn't exist, does it? Bloody hell did I say that ?.............. I dunno why I bothered to try to help 5. Why should someone requesting specific information have to document evidence of the few facts that are already known? Lord save us your certainly got out of bed on the wrong side . Why be SO nasty ?
