Hi there,

I am trying to trace info re my 2xgreat grandmother, Ellen Reardon (Raardon), who was born the Isle of Wight, UK approx. 1817/1818 and came to Australia approx. 1841 apparently as a convict.

She married Thomas Dykes - born St. Luke's Parish, London in 1842 (also apparently a convict), then lived and died (1889 - aged 72) at Jones Island, Manning River, NSW.

From Ellen's death certificate, her mother's name was possibly Ellen/Helen/Eleanor Reardon with father unknown.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
