Dear All, I am not sure where the name Hiam has come from. My Fathers, Mothers name was Hiam. I have not found the ships record for Charles Hiam and Sarah Roberts. They were married in Greenwich England.
Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
An uncle of mine thought the Hiams may have come from the USA. We cannot prove this at this stage however.
My grandmothers father was:-
George Thomas Hiam born 1856 Victoria Australia
and his father was Charles Hiam - he married Sarah Roberts.
