It is with regret that I inform I have removed my links database to the death industry in Australia "Australian Deathcare Industry by Aussie Rhonda".
My apologies to those that used it, I have decided to channel my time in other directions.
Researching our Australian family tree with branches tracing back to Cornwall, England, Scotland and Ireland including our convict past. Surnames include, Lucas, Pinkerton, McLauchlan, Paton, Miller, Mundy, Prisk, Melrose, Bray, Hodges, Leahy, Davis, Wilkinson, Schofield, Brown, Cleary and many others. Using 'genetic genealogy' (DNA) to prove the paper trail and move beyond it. (aka Aussie Rhonda's Genealogy).

Anna Maria Rowe and William Bray
Now, do I call this one Hodges, Bray or Leahy?
That is the big question!
Here is some background and hopefully, if you are connected to this branch you can help fill in some blanks.
Louisa Bray, the daughter of John & Maria BRAY was christened 4 August 1861 at St Blazey, Cornwall. I had narrowed down their arrival to between 1861 and 1877, Louisa's death certificate states she had been in the colonies for 72 years which makes her about 4 when she arrived. I believe William, Maria and Louisa arrived at Port Adelaide, Australia on 1st May 1865 onboard the Clara.

In 1841 there were three people onboard the 'New York Packet' which sailed into Sydney that would play a part in the Pinkerton Lineage. They were James PINKERTON, aged 23, a native of Derry, Ireland; Mary Ann POLLOCK, aged 21, and her younger sister Margaret POLLOCK, aged 18 both from Leckpatrick, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.

WikiTree: Melrose DNA and Name Study
In my post "Surname: Melrose DNA Study"; 30 December 2013, I expressed my desire to trace our Melrose DNA and in particular try and connect with descendants of Thomas Graham Melrose who immigrated to Quebec in 1848 and married Anna O'Neil later that year. To further explain how DNA works, our objectives and show the percentages of how the 5 tested so far are related, I have created a project page at WikiTree Category: Melrose-DNA Name Study. Drop by and check it out.
Here is a background post about the two Thomas Graham Melrose's that we have been working to identify; http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MELROSE/2003-07/1058716518
