Hello Daryl, I am trying to recover from the shock! I have spent 11 LONG YEARS trying to find Margaret Cameron. I would be very interested to know if you have any more information about her, and how you know this Margaret was the daughter of Samuel & Barbara. Yes, John who died at Edenhope was my g grandfather. His actual age at death was 74. About those dates. I have written verification from the Old P Records for the marriage of Samuel & Barbara. It is given as 5 Feb' 1814. On the 1841 census, Acharacle, Barbara, age 50. !851 census, Acharacle, age 50. Arrived in Victoria 1857 on board the ship "Victory", age 49! It would appear that all of the family put their ages back by about 10 years when they came out to Australia. Thank you for solving the Margaret puzzle. I still can't quite believe it! Regards.
