Thanks for all your help guys

now i am on two trails -

what happend to Rhoda Hawkins after her husband
was killed in 1861 ?. I know the daughter (Mary Ann) married Daniel Swan and they moved to Invercargill, New Zealand, via Melbourne Australia

Where did Daniel Swan ( b about 1855) come from - possibly ireland ??

thanks for any help you can give (before we get there) -

and thirdly - what will the weather be like there in early March - 30-35 here

thanks
