Buck

From on Tue, 15 Feb 2005

Elizabeth,
Thanks for your swift response.
I believe that Joseph (Job) Buck and his wife Sarah (nee Burnett) arrived in Melbourne aboard the Alhambra in 1869. They brought with them 2 sons, Joseph and Robert (my great great grand father) . They came from N.Z. after a period of gold-mining. Originally Joseph was from Gloucestershire and Sarah from Edinburgh and they married in Auckland.
Even if you could point me generally in the direction of the Droscher family genealogist it would save me a lot of unnecessary phone calls. Regards
Rob Buck.

Joseph Buck and Sarah Burnett came c1869 and lived at Inglewood
