Tammie's ancestor, Joseph Douglas, is the subject of an article in the Douglas Archives. http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/joseph_douglas.htm

Daryl Douglass

William,
This is another very god idea. Thank you.

What would you think of adding another column to your lists of Australian convicts and arrivals- ie a place to add the contact details of a known descendant of the convict or arrival. Contact details for the genealogist of the family would be very useful if someone recognises the ancestor.

My family descends from Richard William Glode Douglas who migrated (free settler) in 1853 aboard the Albermarle. He disembarked in Victoria but evenually settled in Qld, and was buried at Banana. There is a large tribe of his descendants in Australia.
He also has descendants in UK. His earliest knwn ancestor was Alexander Douglas who emigrated from Scotland to England in the entourage of King James in 1601.

Hi there
What about Immigrants to NZ?
William Douglas left Limavady, Londonderry and came to NZ in 1860 with 10 children on the 'Blue Jacket'. They stopped in Australia on the way, but settled north of Auckland, before moving to Tauranga and farming. He was instrumental in setting up the Presbyterian Church in Tauranga.
William's wife Rachel followed in 1863 on board 'Gertude'.
And his brother George Alexander in 1863 on 'Green Jacket'.
Then a niece and 2 or 3 nephews came on the 'India' in 1875.

Lots of info on William (george) Douglass after he unwillingly 'migrated' to Australia in 1804. The Cross-Flood foundation have two volumes on his children and their descendants (William Married Rose Flood in 1809, hence the connection)
