Hi Wendy,
Your family, were in Launceston,Tasmania, before moving to Geelong, Victoria, about 1850/1851.
I have checked out James HARRINGTON, who arrived on the Earl Grey (1), 14 Jan 1843, and he is not your man, as his Conduct Record shows that he was still in Tasmania, during the 1850's. It appears that maybe your James HARRINGTON, arrived as a free settler, in Tasmania.
Kellie, made this comment:
“James birth date here would fit with a James who arrived Tasmania 1842 aged 21yo.”
The Ship was “Bolivar” arrived from London, on 5 Oct 1842.
Name: Harrington, James
