Hi . I am still trying to find out information about my GG grandfather Joseph Pankhurst. I have no idea when he arrived in Australia except that he arrived before 1842 as he married in Adelaide that year but his wife died in 1845. In 1847 he married my GG grandmother mary Purdy. I am not sure how many children their were but know of at least 6 incuding my GG Grandfather Walter who married Selina Bond in Kadina SA . I have not been able to find birth records for any of them except Dorcas who was born in SA in 1858 but died in Back creek Amherst Victoria in 1860. I have also found Joseph death record and have his death certificate. He died in Geelong VIC in 1865 age 43. On it it states that he was born in Hastings Sussex England . It does not say who his parents were . It says he lived 8 years in victoria but during those years he travelled a lot between SA and Vic. Mary Purdy died in SA about 30 years later. I hav3e my G Grandfather walter marriage certificate but it does not state where he was born
