A POM or POMME is a slang term for and English person. Not sure of the origin of the term. Some say it means Prisoner Of Mother England.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to hear some ancestry and background if you guys would like to share.
Australia it is still a "new country" and plenty of migrants came along since mid 1800 .

P.S: thanks Tathradj for this opportunity to start a new interesting post

Hi DK,
my great grandfather and his brother (my Great Grand Uncle) were theatre entertainers and they arrived in Melbourne in the early 1860's and went their separate ways. I have tracked my GG Uncle using the newspapers from Melbourne to Barry's Reef near Blackwood, Victoria where he was the piano player in the Pub there circa 1867. The trail finishes in Grahamstown near Adelong, New South Wales where in 1880 he is still at the piano providing occasional musical entertainment at local gatherings. He disappears from the records at this point and was declared legally dead by a Court in Scotland in 1895. My G Grandfather was at the Thames Rush, on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. He was there from it's very beginning and married there in 1869 when it was still a "canvas" town that coincidently also became known as Grahamstown. Heady days indeed and what wonderful stories they could have told.
