Photo a Day Challenge - 1.8.2022 - I am...
Very proudly related to my First and Second Fleet families on my mothers side.
Richard William was their oldest child, he married Mary Ann Cross who's father John aka James Cross stole a 'Wether' (a castrated male sheep) and was sent to Australia on the 'Alexander' in the First Fleet.
John Rodd and this three sons arrived in Sydney on the 'Castle Forbes' on the 16th of April 1822, his wife had died and his family wanted him to go into the church... so to Australia he escaped. I am related to the youngest of John's three sons.
So... I am Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Oi Oi Oi...
