Hello Beth,

I haven't been paying attention to this, so do not know if it is relevant or
not ...... but one of my Madderns was in Portland around that time.

A John Maddern who was married to a Honour HARVEY. Those Harveys were from
Cornwall and if they are also the same as your Harveys I can help you with
more info re them.

Kindest regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne.
