I have identified that 2 of the groups listed among the Family
Colonization Society are
known by other names in both the Argus and Mr Whitby's lists.
Mr. Wm. Blackley and wife are actually Mr. and Mrs
Joseph Blackeby and
Mr. Decreon & wife are in fact Mr. and Mrs Firmin
Deacon, parents Firmin.W. Deacon who is listed as Mr W.
Deacon.
Both these families are mentioned in local newspapers in following
years. Records can be found in the newspaper records on "Trove". The
Deacon's later went to Victoria and Mrs Esther/Hester Blackeby
apparently returned to the UK where she died. |
