POSTSCRIPT.
Keryn McLear: Janet ('Jessie') Cairns gave birth to Pearl in 1895, and there is no father named. Jessie married Augustus Engstrom (b Sweden) in 1900, and had a son, George Albert, in 1901. Augustus tragically drowned. In 1903, Jessie married Godfrey Glare Wilson (1875-1933) and had Rose Muriel (1906), Edith Jean Isabella (1911) and Doris Brown (1912).

Keryn also reveals that Pearl was Tom's second wife.
Selina Peters (b 1876, NZ to Richard Peters and Mary Ann Dutton) married Thomas William Chadwick when they were both about 23, in 1899, Victoria. They divorced in February 1917, when they were about 40, in Melbourne. Thomas went on to marry Pearl Cairns (b.1895, Dromana) in 1917, in Victoria when she was 22 and he was 41. They had eight children: Mavis Pearl, Thomas George, Emilie, Henry William, Leslie John, Elaine, Molly and Ruby. One of Leslie's sons married into the Griffith family, bringing in more McLear lines!

Mr.A.G.Engstrom was rated on 60 acres of the Cairns' grant, Little Scotland on the north east corner of Boneo and Browns Rd, Boneo, in 1900-1. Mrs.G.G.Wilson was rated on this same 60 acre farm in 1010-11.

Colin McLear stated in A DREAMTIME OF DROMANA that Jessie (daughter of John McLear and Janet, nee Cairns) married a cousin of Godfrey (Burdett) Wilson.

The great website about the convict's descendants indicates such a relationship, the given name BURDETT appearing there too. Godfrey Burdett Wilson was a son of Henry William Wilson and Thamer (nee Burdett.)
