Hi,
I am researching a William Downing b 1811 Liverpool married a Matilda Mathews. They had four children Louise,James,Henry and Edward, Matilda died in 1852 and William went to Australia in 1853 with his children. I have been told that he had to go to Australia. Can anyone tell me how I go about finding information to court cases that happened in that time. My email is lizbester@webmail.co.za

Thanks
Liz
