Little did I know what I was facing when I started to look into the life and times of Captain William Townsend. What a rich and varied family history!
I have spent today confusing and un-confusing myself over some details: who would expect that a man would marry, when young, someone with a certain surname and then, when older, a widow with that same married surname. I think it might have confused some other researchers, too.
Now that my three followers have met up, at least on-line, I think I can safely leave them to put everything together into one big family story. After all, they are all in the same small (compared to Australia) country.
It has been fun.

OK. Thomas has convinced me to keep going for a while. And, of course, as soon as I did I found new information about the marriage of William Ambrose TOWNSEND (under the name William AMBROSE) and his very strange divorce.
