Looking for William Schooner who was born in 1863 in Germany, traveled to England when about 18yrs, boarded with an English family fell in love with daughter Emily, and moved to India, where they had sons Joseph Victor Melville, Leo, and Richard Schooner could be more.

Re: RE: Schooner/Schoener, McGuire, Rousseau, Bennett
Hi arncliffe, John Rousseau is a mystery man and I have only a limitted amount of information about him. I am interested in finding out more about him as he was instrumental in my ancestors life. Rousseau was first married to Lucy Lane with whom he had 5 sons (THe last one was born and died soon afterwards in Sydney), however in reality 2 were very possibly not his. He also had another child with a previous de facto (convict). He died in 1812 in the Calcutta area, hung for murdering his second wife. There was one month between trial and execution. I am from the Sharling line, what is your link to him? I hope this helps.
