I have seen "my" Mary Heywood listed as Mary McManamy ... and "my" Mary Heywood married (?) John Peach of Malvern and they had 11 children. I can find no listing for their marriage, only that they claim it happened in Adelaide (cannot find it) - and I've recently come across a John Peach who was a convict in Australia, arriving aboard the "Somersetshire" in 1842 - everything fits in with him at the moment (I've only just found it, so I haven't got too much information on this John Peach yet - could be a deadend)- but, I've never been able to find out how "my" John Peach got to Australia - and the age fits, plus the "Tasmanian" John Peach was free by servitude and came to Melbourne the year their first child was born. I cannot find where "my" Mary Peach died. Do you think there's a tie, they are all the same people? You can contact me here, or email me at:
rivett@alphalink.com.au. I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Keryn.
