Frederick Scott Archer’s father, Thomas, was an older brother of my wife’s 2g grandfather, John Archer. John Archer became a miller at Ware, Hertfordshire and immigrated to Tasmania in 1831.
Frederick Scott Archer was born 30 August 1814 and was baptised at the same time as his siblings, James and Sarah on 21 April 1822.
I have recently done some research on the Archer family and have discovered information which may be of use to you. There are some gaps which you may be able to collaborate with me on. I suggest as there probably will be an exchange in documents, it would be more appropriate if we communicate by email directly.
