Hello Katrina,
I am researching the Slater family from Invermay
,Launceston . John Staniforth and Mary Brain's granddaughter Isabella Jane
Webb married Henry Slater son of John Slater and Harriet Henshall both
convicts. I am in contact with Isabella Jane's granddaughters and grandsons.
I would be interested in the ancestors of John Staniforth and Mary Brain,
then I could pass it on to the descendents of Isabella Jane. Mary Staniforth
remarried to a James Bellion in 1860.

Regards Pat
