I am not sure whether I have posted on this site before or not.Hannah Reece [ my ggg.g.mother] took on the license of the Joiner’s Arms after the death of her husband John Reece in June 1835.Eventually she sold it on, but she then disappeared without trace. Her 2 sons John and Matthew left the Colony about 1836. Matthew who was born about 1830, was baptised in 1836 prior to his leaving Launceston.The person who gave the info. obviously did not have all the details of Matthew’s birth.We have never been able to find if Hannah Reece died in 1836, or if she did disappear. It is a mystery.
