Research Notes

Passenger Lists for incoming vessels to South Australia list James Reeves (35), Ann (32), and George (12) from Middlesex on a ship named Melbourne arriving in 1858. The destination was Adelaide. This may be this family. His parents had moved to Middlesex by then and no further census records in England appear to match this family.
