G'day Bryan,
Have just saw your message in the Archives, I am the descendant of a Joseph Huggins. I don't know when he came to Victoria, Australia. He was still in England in 1848 and was in Victoria by 1854.
I realise that this is a lot later than the 1830's but your relatives may be my rellies family.
Joseph was the son of Robert Huggins and Rachel Cowlands who had children Joseph, Robert, Thomas, Lavinia, William who were born in Hertfordshire and John born in Shoreditch, London
