A Line out of Australia


Marie Elliott contacted me this week with this letter. Can anyone add to our knowledge on this?

Hi Ked,
I am a great grand daughter of George Pollard, born at Corfe Dorsetshire UK, brother of Joseph Pollard, who migrated to Utah.  On reading about Joseph’s story I am amazed at the hardship of their journey, and now I wonder what it was like for George and Elizabeth (Payne) and their son, Joseph when they sailed to Australia on the ‘Oregon” in 1851.
I would like to be able to print Joseph’s story, do you know how I can do this.?
Lydia is mentioned but not the 2 older sisters, do you know the reason for this?
I would very much like to correspond with you on family stories.

I am Marie Elliot, (Pollard) daughter of Don, grand daughter of John, who was the3rd son and 5th child of George Pollard.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Cheers,Marie

Thank you, Marie for  your interest and information.
