Find Ancestors

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one. I have a pictureof a grave in South Australia with the names Robert and Louisa Spry. I am currently researching the Spry family and was wondering if they are related and how.

Many thanks

John PugsleySpry/Sarah McIntyre

William Pugsley Spry/Hariette Wilson

Richard Pugsley Spry/Elizabeth Drummond

Robert Patterson Spry/Louisa Andrewartha

I cannot find South Australian births for any of these guys.

Hope this has been of some help
Colleen

this looks like our family.... (You may already have this)

(From The Ships List)
South Australian Register Wednesday 21st November 1849

Saturday November 17th, 1849:- the barque Himalaya, 477 tons, Langford, Master, from London.

Spry Thomas 34 Agr. Labourer 1526/3 Thrushelton, Devon
Ann (Pugsley) 33
John 10
William 8
Elizabeth 2 died at sea


Well John (snr). and William b. presumably Devon.
And now we know where the unusual name of Pugsley came from.
