For this week’s Trove Tuesday, I am featuring articles about my 2x great grandfather Joseph Whimpey, and his wife Margaret Price, and Joseph’s brother John.
In a previous post, I showed that the two brothers had gone to Australia in 1846. Joseph and his family returned to Victoria, while John remained in Adelaide. The following articles show Joseph and his wife travelling from Victoria to Adelaide in 1850.
