I also am descended from Josiah and Mary-Ann.

My grandfather Alfred was the son of Josiah and Mary Ann. According to the information

I have following the death of Josiah. Maryann and 3 of her children sailed on the

"Artrata" to Victoria where she lived until her death in 1893.

I believe that eventually 5 of her 7 surviving children settled in Australia.

Just a few scraps of information from my end: My grandfather Alfred was born on

17th April 1846 came out to Australia in 1874 and settled in Vic. I don't know where.

He married my grandmother Mary Addicoat who had been in the colony since 1855.

As it happened her family had come from St.just, just down the road as it were.

They had 6 children 3 boys 3 girls in order Alfred, Ethyl, Gifford, Maude,

William, (my dad ) and Florence.

I am one of eight My eldest brother Giff deceased and am 74 years old.

We have a vast family here in Oz. I don't know many of my Victorian relatives as my branch of the family live in N.S.W.

The only place I can find him is in the 1851 census living with Josiah and Mary-Ann.

It states that he is 77 yrs old and is widowed. We had music in our family all our

young lives my father had a fine baritone voice and my mother played the piano.
