Anyone seeking missing relations
Try looking at convict lists for Australia. I have several Irish names for those who died on Norfolk Island and are buried there. Would be glad to try to assist any who wish.

Re: Anyone seeking missing relations
Just saw on an internet site that it seems all the BMD records from around 1796 and 1804 on Norfolk Island have been lost. I too have a connection to the Barrisford/Berresford family - albeit a little remote - John and Hannah's daughter Mary married Michael Purdon; then their daughter Elizabeth married my G-G-grandfather's brother, Jonathan Beale in Tasmania. We are off to Norfolk Island next week - looking forward to that. The only thing I have are the dates of death of Mary Oakley and George Woods - Mary on 27 September 1796 and George in April 1796.

Re: Anyone seeking missing relations
No doubt you have found some information by now at the KAVHA centre, but Cathy Dee is a great source for information. Geoge Oakley was the father of the husband of our 2nd great grand aunt!
I cannot find anything about Mary Woods, hoping Cathy might be able to help she is ready to release a book on the Baptisms on NI
