Searching for family MENSER (England to Australia c1850).
I am currently researching the CHAPMAN and MENSER relatives of my
wife’s LEVY family. Some of her MENSER family emigrated to
Australia c1840/1850(?).
The information I have so far:
1. Abraham CHAPMAN (born c1805 in England) married Amelia
UNKNOWN (in England.
2. Abraham and Amelia CHAPMAN had four children (in England c
1840?? including Rebecca CHAPMAN.
3. Rebecca CHAPMAN married an Unknown MENSER (possibly Morris
Menser????).
4. Rebecca CHAPMAN emigrated to Australia c1840/1850(?) and was
known to be in Sydney in 1860.
