Dear Ace,
To answer your second question first - I found this information on the net about Yan Yean:
"Yan Yean, best known for its domestic-water reservoir, is on the Plenty river 30 km. north of Melbourne. The name is thought to be of Aboriginal origin, possibly meaning young man (Yan Yean is recorded as an initiation place), or deriving from the name of one of the signatories to the Batman "land treaty". The location of the reservoir was a swamp, and Yan Yean was known as Ryder's Swamp until the 1850s."
Now, about connecting James to Richard Albert, I am happy to look for you, but if possible, do you have any other details (spouse, locality etc)on James, or Richard Albert's family (parents)???? It would certainly make the search easier. Did Richard Albert and his family remain in VIC ?
Also, considering James' birth date, it's more than likely if he's directly related, that he'd be a grandfather, or granduncle.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Michelle.
