My great grand father George Gardiner Whitlow, born Dec 1831 Manchester, England.

He came to Victoria, but I have no records of what ship he was on etc.

He married Alice McLachlan in the gold mining town of Walhalla in 1869.

She was born in Hobart, Tasmania in 1849.


She died in Walhalla in 1874.

George then married my great grand mother Theresa Holdsworth Beard in 1876 in Walahalla.

My nan Minnie Theresa Frances (1 of 7 children) was born in 1877 in Walhalla.

I would like to know whether George arrived as a convict in Hobart, Tasmania, where he might have met Alice.

Hope you can help me with my research, cheers Rick Silverwood.
