Hi Julie,

I certainly am interested. Oddly enough I have just been looking at William Henry and saw he was a carpenters mate on the RMS Ortona which plied between London and Sydney. I was starting to look to see if he remained in Aus'. You have now confirmed he did.

I was in the UK recently and photographed all the memorials at St. John the Baptist in Southend, plus spending 2 days in the Essex Records Office chasing down info on the Absalom's and the Ramsey's. Emma Ruth Absalom married Edward Ramsey, he and she would have been my mothers grandparents and so my Gt Grandparents.

I have a stash of info and photo's which I will gladly share.

I am now based in Perth WA. My email is frank.dutton@michll.com

VBR

Frank
