Hi all,

I am fairly new to the list and was wondering if SKS could help with the
following for me.

My ggrandmother Alice Edwards born approx 1839 in Cornwall arrived in SA
in approx 1844 no details known. Married (1) James Leachmore
in1853/1854 in Adelaide when she was 15 years old. They had 1 daughter
Sarah Ann b.1854. Something happened to James because 1 year later
Alice married (2) William Edwards on 19th Jan 1855 at Burra. They had 3
daughters Jane 1857, Louisa 1859 and Matilda 1861, before moving to
Newcastle NSW.

Could somebody check the SA BDM's for me for the following entries:

Marriage of Alice Edwards to James Leachmore 1853/1854
Death of James Leachmore 1854
Birth of Sarah Ann Leachmore 1854
Marriage of Alice Edwards to William Edwards 1855
Birth of Jane Edwards 1857
Birth of Louisa Edwards 1859
Birth of Matilda Edwards 1861

Any pointers on how I can find out when Alice arrived and what ship she
was on also appreciated.

Cheers,
Kate
