Dear Elaine,
I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am that you have replied. This is just the response I was hoping for by posting this message. We are distant cousins. My GtGtGrandfather was Edmund Shadbolt and he was Jemina's brother. Their parents were Solomon Shadbolt and Eleanor Ewington. Jemina and some other ladies in the family have been a special research project of mine. Write to me so I can explain why. Let me begin with this...Solomon, his son George, and nephews Benjamin and Jonathan were transported from the Tewin/Datchworth area of Herts in about 1846-48 to Norfolk Island in the Pacific and later to Van Diemen's land (Tasmania) in Australia. Solomon died
in Casacade Farm Penal Colony on Tasmania. They left behind their wives and children in England eventually with most of the individuals remarrying but apparently staying in touch. I have so much to tell you and it would be better on a more personal message forum. I would be so pleased if you would write to me at my personal email address - [email protected]
I look forward to hearing from you!!
All the very bestMaria :)
