HENRY WILLIAM WILSON OF DROMANA WAS NOT RELATED TO SARAH WILSON AND HER SONS, GEORGE AND ROBERT. (VIC., AUST.)
Henry William Wilson who married Thamer Burdett was the subject of one of my earliest journals as itellya on family tree circles. I speculated that he may have been related to Sarah Wilson, who was a fellow tenant on the survey in the early 1860's. Petronella Wilson's GIVING DESTINY A HAND, discovered years later, showed that there was absolutely no relationship, but my attempt just now to point out my wrong assumption would have taken years to submit in this journal (HENRY WILLIAM WILSON, BULLOCKY TO BUTCHER) and THE SHIRE OF FLINDERS, MORNINGTON PENINSULA, VIC., AUST. journal into which I had copied an excerpt.
A later journal was written, pointing out the danger of assuming a relationship between these and other Wilson families in Mornington, Tuerong and Main Ridge.

Itellya is researching local history on the Mornington Peninsula and is willing to help family historians with information about the area between Somerville and Blairgowrie. He has extensive information about Henry Gomm of Somerville, Joseph Porta (Victoria's first bellows manufacturer) and Captain Adams of Rosebud.
