Hi Brian, I dont know of any Australian connections as yet.. Just Argyll Scotland, Govan & Partick Scotland and numerous pieces of evidence that two ancestors worked in almost every county in England without the slightest regard for future geneologists trying to track down the birthplace of their children(slight frustration showing here :O) ) . I'll keep you posted if anything crops up.
