Hopefully some who have read this will. Your mum was going to.

Fascinating story - I love when one little nugget of information turns everything on its head and gives us answers we didn't know we were looking for.

Exactly that. I love finding those nuggets. If it was all easy, family history would be boring. :-)

Great research Jenny. You've proved what I've always said - that it is worth while to go back over old documents. You never know what vital information you might have missed.

Exactly that. The interesting thing is, I can’t seem to replicate that family search that I did. One shows up but not the other. They were calling me to find them. Now I’m digging into their father’s history to see what he’d been up to, to get transported.

It sure is wow, wow, wow. What were the odds? And George Reese and his first wife are convicts. They sure did stick together.
