Find Ancestors

I am searching for Henry Spencer borne about 1840. From his marriage certificate of 1872 at Coleraine, Victoria, Australia he was borne in London. His parents are named as Henry Spencer and Harriet Wheymans. Father and Son are both listed as Butchers. Research shows a Henry (Hy) Spencer arriving in Australia in 1862 via the "Great Britian". He was aged 21 at the time. Attempts to trace information on him have all failed so I am in hope that this may lead to some knowledge of his origins.
Ever hopeful, Kerry Spencer

You just need to delete this Kerry - you have hit 'submit' twice so there is a duplicate posting.
EDIT I think the other posting has maybe disappeared?

Oh Jan, what have you done now? :-0

Had a troll through census, but not spotting anything for him, nor a marriage for the parents.

Seems the phantom RRer was on a roll last night.....several threads have been attacked :-|


Edit: Jans back!


I cant find anything either, I cant even find a ref to a Harriet Wheymans :-S

Sorry Jan, I posted that before your post was re-instated!

Are there no more details on the passenger list -I haven't been able to find that one?

Nothing else Flip, sadly!.

Chris :)

I've tried newspaper archives, hoping to find him being transported but there's nothing that I can see.

Information posted by Chris Ho all correct. I hold copy of marriage certificate of 1872.
Spelling of mothers name is Harriet (correct) Wheyman(?)may or may not be a letter for question mark. Marriage certificate states birthplace as London, prefession as butcher. Henry signed his name on the certificate so he could write. If anybody is interested in his wife Mary Jones info is held. I am afraid that is all the info on Henry that I hold. Kerry Spencer
