Hi again

Looking at Thomas now - there are a few in Tasmania. I am thinking 'your' Thos was the one who arrived aboard "Clyde" in Dec 1830.

I reckon he is also the one who married Helen MITCHELL in Hobart in 1837; they had 4 children born 1838-1842. Helen died in 1843. Thos then married Mary Ann MILLINGTON in 1857 in Launceston. She was much younger than he (she was born in Launceston in 1836 to Wm & Mary Ann nee JEX). They had one daughter in Tasmania (Martha, who died aged 15 months in Victoria) and were in Victoria by 1858, where they had a further 6 children 1859-69. Thomas died the following year:

Surname: LOVICK
Given Names: Thomas
Event: D
Father: Thomas
Mother: Helen MITCHELL
Age: 60
Birth Place: NORW
Year: 1870
Reg Number: 9632

I believe the mother's name at least is an informant error, and that this was his first wife - his sons from his first marriage who died in Victoria have the same information! But given the dates and his place of birth this seems a good match otherwise.

Let me know if you think this is the right man and if you would like further info on the children.

:-)
