Having claimed his older sister Elizabeth I feel obliged to take on John as well. He along with my G G granmother Elizabeth did not go by the name Worship in any other place but the above records. Their father was James Wishart and they arrived in VDL around the same time as convict mother Elizabeth McLain/Wishart aboard the Harmony arriving 14th Jan. 1829 but are not mentioned in any documents about this voyage.
Little is known about John's early life before his marriage to Jane Sweet during 1857 in Victoria.
