Rider/Fortnam/Hallam - Tasmania

I'm looking for details on gggg/parents John Rider b c 1802 and his wife Mary Fortnam b c 1814, who I believe both were transported from UK to Tasmania. They married in Hobart in 1833 and had 8 children. My ggg/father Henry Fortnam Rider married Emma Wheatley and had 11 children, and one of their sons Walter Fortnam Rider married Ruth Hallam.

Anyone with a connection to these families, would be great to make contact.

Thanks

Kerri

Hi Wayne

Thanks for yr email. Yes I have checked out the Tassie archives and the corresponding CDs of BDMs in Tassie. I think I really want to know more about John Rider and his wife Mary Fortnam, if anyone has traced them back to UK.

Thanks
Kerri
