    Thanks, Jean - the record I seek is one referred to by Dundee 10 early in the discussion which identifies the fact that George Lamb has brothers named John and Robert living in Dubbo. I have double checked both Ancestry and Findmypast and cannot locate a reference to this degree of detail ... then, again, maybe it is staring me in the face and I just can't see it ... The Deposit Journal and Passenger List entries tell me much, but not this.
    Again, many thanks for your gentle guidance ... John

    Hello Jean - this is indeed the record - true gen(e)ius! - I am greatly indebted. I will now go quietly away with all that has been offered and integrate it into the history of our family for our eager grandchildren. To you, to everyone who has shown such support, thank you, always. Whilst the John Lamb of my original quest is still proving to be elusive I now have many resources with which to work. Very best wishes ... John
