Frederick J Hellier/Hillier
My great, great grandfather was Frederick James Hellier, although he was named as Hillier on documents upon arrival in Australia, then corrected - born c1835. Parents William Hellier & Julia Ann Bach. Fred arrived in Australia on the ship "Victory" 24th May 1855, stating he came from Ilminster, Somersetshire, he could read and write, was 20 years old and was a carpenter. He died in 1902. His father was reportedly also a carpenter, but Fred became a painter after arrival. I'm looking for any info re Fred's siblings and ancestors in the UK, and if any other members of his family emigrated (his parents died in Somerset in the 1870's). Glad to share any info I have re descendants in Australia.
