Thanks Patchem for your information.

I believe Ann and James migrated to Australia in 1856/57.

Would anyone be able to find information on:
Ann Carey Gunning b 1831 in Somerset. She married James Appleby born 1830 in Somerton? in1856 in Shepton Mallet district.
I believe James' father was also James.
I would also like to know the significance of the name Carey.

I would like to know parents names and any siblings please.

Thanks
Beverley
