I have a William Henry Dunn born 8th October 1848 at Kew Victoria Australia, his parents were William Dunn ( a Tanner ) & Sarah Jones they never married.

I have all the information on William Henry to the present day , but haven't been able to find anything on his parents.
I seem to have hit a brickwall here not sure if anyone can pull it down or not, I have had great success from this site so you never know ;-)

Thank you Malyon, I do not think this is my Sarah Jones as she had a son in 1848 at Kew Victoria

Just checked my records Sarah's son William Henry born 8/10/1848 left Victoria in 1874 for NZ on the "Alhambra" I would think that if Sarah had moved to NSW she would have taken her son with her, make me think that the Sarah Jone's who moved to NSW is not my Sarah Jones Thank you

William Henry Dunn was Baptisted at St James Church in Bourke on the 20th January 1849 he is marked as Illegitimate

I have a possibility on my William Dunn.

They were R Catholics and could both read and write. Seems they were to be farm servants and everyone had been imported by Messrs Thomas Cruscoe? and James. Everyone had a bounty of 19 attached to them.


So the Middlesex was first used as a convict ship. Can't find another instance of it being used again as one.
