Laura, As I am new to the list I had not looked closely at the messages you have sent as I didn't realise that they might connect with anyone who came to Tasmania. Can you briefly let me know how you are connected to George, Hannah and their son Eugene. I now understand from Alan's message how they connect to the Thomas who came to Tasmania. I am not a descendant of this line but of a James Knibbs from Buckinghamshire who also came to Tasmania as a convict. However as I still live in Tasmania I am happy to look up things for others as I get time.
