 It is interesting that most of the Coombe residents in Altarnun in
1841 migrated to South Australia.
17th and 18th Centuries
William Coumbe (1698-1762) and
Margery Draper (1704-1759) of Altarnun and Lewannick were ancestors of both
the Orleana 1842 Tasmania and the Princess Royal 1847 South Australia
migrants.
William’s parents were Philip
COUMBE and Elizabeth PEARCE, who married 18 Dec 1699 Altarnun (register
excerpt below).
