A very interesting book, 'Kettle-Broth for Tea', by Trevor Byard, published by Regal Publications, Tasmania, 1998 details the difficulties encountered by the first settlers in Tasmania and includes a diary of the migration voyage which was kept by Ann (Sale) Byard on board the Ambrosine. This book may be purchased by sending an international money order for the value of $25 Australian for the book (this includes postage) to the Rev Trevor Byard, 163 Cumberland View, Wheelers Hill, Victoria.3150, Australia. Alternatively please contact Sheila Byard
Mention must also be made of the tremendous value of the work of John Palmer and colleagues in the compilation of the Wirksworth WWW site, a veritable gold mine of information for anyone lucky enough to have ancestors from that area.
