HERD William

Abt 1821 - 1908

• Born	Abt 1821	Belfast ANT
  Gender	Male
  Immigration	19 Oct 1838	Sydney NSW aboard the 'Mandarin'
  	All of the family barring William moved on to Port Phillip VIC aboard the interstate vessel 'Hope' very soon after arriving in Sydney NSW. It is not known when and how William moved to Victoria.
  Occupation	Farmer
  Will	18 Aug 1888	Geelong VIC
  	Interesting to note that William HERD referred to his wife as Margaret Caldwell HERD on two occasions when her real name was Margaret Calder HERD.
  Died	31 Mar 1908	Highton VIC
  	Age: 86y
  Buried	2 Apr 1908	Barrabool Hills Cemetery, Highton VIC
  	HGH-COE-2-807-190
  Probate	29 Jul 1908	Melbourne VIC
  _UID	40E78D01FFB14A25A858FCD9C12629B56E56
  Notes	Mystery surrounds the movement of William HERD from Sydney to Melbourne after his initial arrival in Sydney. Recent information which is unconfirmed, is that he stayed on in Sydney with some of his PARK relatives, while the rest of the family journeyed on to Melbourne. One thing is certain and that is that his name does not appear on the passenger list of the "Hope", the interstate vessel on which the remainder of the family travelled to Melbourne.
