Robert LEWIS with his wife Sarah Ann nee PALMER and their son Robert jnr arrived in South Australia on the "William Mitchell" 27 Aug 1840.

A further 8 children were born in South Australia.

Posting yet again about his descendants does not help to find what you're looking for, and only clouds the issue

The best move would be to find out when he died.......and get a copy of the cert. which will tell you his age
