Hello everyboby,
I'm new to the list. My name is Ronald Paterson and I live in Mackay, Queensland,
Australia.
I have several relatives that I trace back to Wales but I no very little about then in
Wales.
Anyone that can help me with information on the following people would be greatly
appreciated

Australia in 1920. He married Mary WILLIAMS in 1862 at Raymond Terrace, NSW, Australia.
