Saying Thanks To Our Front-Line Workers

Jim "Pops" Jackson

First of all,
To all of you who are involved in the "front lines" of this corona virus war
- Thank You for all you are doing.  Without you we would be in dire straits.

Secondly,

Diane and I thought it would be a good thing to share what is happening in
your locations as far as showing appreciation to everyone involved in
fighting the spread of this horrendous pandemic that has plagued the world.

Please feel free to share what your community is doing in that regard.  We
have all seen the firefighters gathered to applaud the health workers.
Diane says that she and her neighbors stand outside their doors and clap for
the health workers.  She suggests singing (to the tune of "Happy Birthday")
the following:

Thank you very much,
Thank you very much,
Thank you front line workers,
Thank you very much.


What ideas do you have?  What have you witnessed in your communities?  We
are together in this and shall come out of it stronger.

Henry WALLAN ca1794-1856

G'day Dianne & Jim.

?

Greetings from Kangaroo Island (KI) just off the coast of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

?

Henry WALLAN was also sometimes known by the Christian names of Robert or Harry.? His surname has various forms including WALLEN, ?WHALLEN, WHALLEY, WORLEY and WARLAND.? Henry WALLAN was the clear name in his handwriting in a letter written in 1851.

?

Henry was born in England in approximately 1794.? He left Dorset on 1 September 1814 as a crewman aboard a 225-ton vessel, Marquis of Wellington, captain George BETHAM, which was transporting 200 male prisoners to New South Wales. ?A fellow crewman on the vessel was William (John) DAY.? They arrived in Sydney on 27 January 1815.? From then until 1819 WALLAN crewed a 40 ton Schooner Henrietta Packet and a 120 ton Brig Sophia.

?

At the end of 1819 WALLAN and DAY were in partnership at Three Wells River on KI and cohabited with two or three aboriginal women possibly brought from Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania).? WALLAN was on KI at least 17 years before the first official European settlers arrived in South Australia on 27 July 1836.? He lived on KI until his death in 1856 and is buried there with a neat grave and headstone

?

What I am trying to find out is any details of WALLAN’s life before he left Dorset in 1814.? Was he born or baptised in Dorset?? If so whereabouts and who were his parents or siblings?? I realise all this is before official BMD records and the fact that I have so little knowledge doesn’t make it any easier for you and the fact that I’m on the other side of the world doesn’t make it any easier for me!

?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

?

Regards

Chris

Welcome to Groups.io, our new home for genealogical discussions.  This is an
exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle
our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for
a time.

Diane and I want to encourage you to make us of this group with your brick
walls, successes, questions and whatever answers you may have for others'
queries.  To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some
history about yourself etc.  If we can feel like a "family" we might get
more out of being here. We definitely do not want to make this such a strict
environment that you are discouraged from entering or starting discussions.

We want you to enjoy being a part of this group and be glad you joined in
the first place.  If you have other group connections where you may spread
the word about us that will be great as well.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden
