Do you know how old William and James were when they arrived in WA?

WA Pioneer Index shows a William House and Martha [nee Higgins/Heggins/Higgens} having children in the 1840s.

If William was 10 or older in 1829, this could be him.

G'day -
William and James were both about 18 - 19 when they arrived in WA. Martha was Williams wife.

Hi, Do you know who the parents of William and James were? I have a connection though Martha May Beatrice House and I would like to know from where they came. I know the pair were indentured to Samuel Talbot who abandoned them shortly after arrival and I also know the "Caroline" departed from near Worthing in Sussex on June 4 but having a heck of a time working out who their parents were as some instances state "West Tarring, Suffolk" but this is where Samuel Talbot was from, another states "Worthing, Sussex" but this is only a departure point prior to arrival. I have another leg of the HOUSE family "Anne House born 17 Jan 1813 in Drayton, Somerset, England who arrived in Tasmania 1866 whom I believe is also connected somehow to William and James. I would surely appreciate if anyone has any information on William and James's birthplace/parents.

Hi

If you haven't looked on 'world connect’ a researcher has William HOUSE born 30 Sep 1809 in Wellington, Somerset, England to Robert HOUSE and Jane nee PARSONS.

'freereg' lists children including William but no mention of James born to the same parents.

Robert HOUSE a widower married Jane PARSONS 27 Dec 1804 Wellington, Somerset so worth checking.
