Margaret Rebecca Boyce is on Geni as being born 1799 Parramatta - the daughter of Captain John Shortland, Jnr, RN [Marine "Sirius" "Friendship" 1788 + Marine "Reliance" 1795] (born 1769) and Elizabeth Shortland
Everything that I have found on John SHORTLAND born 1769 says that he did not marry
I have looked at My.Heritage trees and some have her father as Commander John Shortland, Snr, RN [Crew "Supply" 1788] (born 1736).
Margaret also has a brother John Thomas Shortland (born 1796 in England) - John had returned to Australia in 1795 on Reliance
Can anyone add any supporting documentation on Margaret or her brother John
Here are some links to Margaret SHORTLAND and her husband James Boyce, Convict "Marquis Wellington" 1814
