If he was born in '86 and they arrived in Western Victoria in '87, this would be about right, I think?
posted by Kate (James) Arnold
There is no doubt that James was baptised at Geelong, the indexing clearly showing Wesleyan Methodist for both registrations, and the higher fiche number also giving 'parish' as Geelong. But when he married in 1884, the indexing shows his place of birth was entered as Melbourne. Does this raise a question about when Samuel & Louisa moved from the Melbourne area to Geelong?
