Brian Buzzard - Autobiography

Australia Collaboration

A Gentleman and a Rascal
by Brian Buzzard

The association with my good Australian internet and email friend Phil Buzzard began when we undertook a joint project as one of his ancestors, his great-great grandfather William Hunt, was born in Tharston in 1828 and ended up being deported to Australia in 1853. It is with great pleasure that I host an online version of his father’s book.

This document is a set of images of pages from the book. Permission has been given for these to be displayed by members of the family. If anyone has any further information about this man or his family, please contact Phil at philaust@hotmail.com.
