  	Misses Royes arrive in Sydney This record raises the question as to whether Edward sailed with his sisters, or was already in Sydney where he was cabin boy on the Surry 26 Nov 1831 (aged 15). A vessel named the Bencoolen of 416 tons was built in 1818 and wrecked in 1844 near Liverpool, England, with the loss of at least 13 lives.

  Miss (Emily?) Royes arrives in Sydney This report refers to just one Royes arrival and has to be either Maria or Emily. If accurate, this challenges our current data that Maria, Emily and Edward arrived the same day.

  1700 ROYES The earliest known Royes - John We had previously identified John Royes 1752-1832 as our earliest Royes. We then identified his father as William Royes - no information about birth or marriage. We have information that a William Royes was born in 1723 in Lincolnshire. But John 1752 was born in, worked, married and died in Canterbury, Kent. So this link is uncertain though not impossible. Lincolnshire William's wife is Sarah Taylor and his parents were John and Mary Royes.
