For some reason I have the following entry in my database - nor sure
of original source, however.

Very keen to learn more.

"Charles Michael Seamons, along with his brother Joseph Josiah
Seamons, arrived at Melbourne in January 1853 on the ship "Atalanta",
which embarked from London on 29 September, 1852. Charles’s age
listed as 19, Joseph’s as 24. Charles and Joseph were descendants of
James Seamons' twin brother, William."

I am in regular contact with my seventh cousin - Rupert Charles
Seamons, also living in Canberra.
