Thanks for answers re Thomas Hester. The one borne in Shoreditch in 1789 I thought was mine until I saw there was a Thomas Hester listed in 1861 census who was born in Shoreditch in 1790. This was a problem for me as it seemed to be my Thomas who came to West Australia in 1829. What do you think? Could there be a different one in the 1861 census ? Anne Harse
