Thomas Field wed Alice Goldsmith in 1840 at Presbyterian Melbourne & Geelong

From on Monday, 27 April, 2009

I am looking for advice or information on Thomas Field mentioned in your site.
Thomas Field born about 1794, wed in Hobart, Van Diemans Land in 1824 to Elizabeth Hall. He had the "Cape of Good Hope" Inn at Black Marsh or Apsley in Tasmania, left his wife who took over the Inn, travelled to Port Phillip c.1836. Purchased land at the first land sale in Melb. Had inns in Williamstown.
Went to Port Fairy, then on to Portland.
He married Alice Goldsmith, (married to James Murdoch (k)) in Portland in 1840, died in 1856 & is buried in Portland Cemetery, Victoria, Australia.
No one I know - knows - how, where from, why, when - Thomas Field came to Australia and I would be very grateful if you could help.
Thanking you, Pam Fenwick, Melbourne.

William Field wed Mary Kelter in 1841 at Presbyterian Melbourne & Geelong
William Field, and Mary Kelton baptised female Mary Anne at Roman Catholic St Marys, Geelong born at Geelong 1842 # 508

From on Monday, 27 April, 2009

I started out researching a g.g.grandfather William Field who married Mary Kelter in 1841 in Geelong, Victoria and was told that the above Thomas Field was the father of this William Field. William & Mary Field farmed at Wurdi Buloc near Winchelsea, Victoria which is near the "Leigh(t) and Bunninyong", but the local Hist. Socs. cannot help me. Thomas Field "settler" is noted on William Field's Death Certificate as his father. I do want to collaborate all of this information.
In the meantime, I will work through your great website....
Thanking you, Pam Fenwick, Melbourne.
