	Hello Nigel The post from Jacqueline is very old, so she won't see it. If you click on her name, you can send her a message, assuming she still has the same email address

The boys were all farmers, who apparently did well for themselves, all becoming independent farmers. They landed in Algoa Bay on 30th April, 1820. Does anyone out there know anything about what eventually happened to them. My trail has gone cold. They all came from the Lambourne area of Berkshire. Jackie
