One of the founders of the Society of Friends (a.k.a. Quakers) in Hobart in the 1830s, their first Meeting in Australia, was James BACKHOUSE (1794-1869), of York. JB was then a widower, and left his children in England. I believe that JB returned to England and lived out his days there. His fellow missionary, G. W. WALKER, returned to Hobart, married, became prominent, had a family which prospers to this day. I have often wondered if the Australian BACKHOUSEs were connected to this JB. There are several biographies of him (see ADB vol 1, p45; and OATS, Wm N.: "Backhouse & Walker" 1981), and he published several works himself, including "A Narrative of a Visit to the Australian Colonies" (1843; reprinted 1967). I mention this in case you come across any connections to York &/or Quakers.

Hi Carol I had been told the will for Edward had been contested but I thought maybe 10-15 pages, sorry about that I had no Idea it was that big.I didn't think anyone could have a will that big. Thank you very much for looking, I will give it a big miss, my husband would have a fit if I paid that much for a will. How much do I owe you for Ethel FAULKNER will, and where do I send the money I really appreciate all your help.

Hi all, A researcher's relative was married in the Bible Christian church around 1868 in Terang. The Historical Society/Family History group have advised this information. Seems they were served by a circuit minister who most likely kept the records with him. If not, would they come under the umbrella of the Uniting Church? Where may the Uniting church records be viewed in person? I would like to see them on my trip so your assistance would be greatly appreciated. M any thanks. Michele in Sydney

Hi Margaret Thanks for your email. Unfortunatley, my Hessey/Essie/Esther Beckett is the only one I have in my tree, hence I added her in below as I have been searching for years to find any details on her at all. Her death record states as father - John J Beckett & mother blank, she was abt 50 when she died in 1874 her in Victoria & birth place is London. So that would mean she was abt 17 or 18 when she was married, I purchased her wedding certificate, hoping that I would find more detail, with no luck, the only thing I found out from that document was she could not write as X marked the spot of her signature. She married here in Victoria in July 1841 to Duncan Clark who was from Greenock Scotland. I haven't been able to find any shipping details for either of them. They went on to have 10 children between Williamstown & Sale - Victoria. I also have Duncan Clark's death certificate which verify's the above records. I checked the 1841 census but I guess she was already here in Australia or on her way when the census was taken. I wish there was a 1831 census as I am sure I would find her there. If I ever find any details I will let you know.

Dear List - For our forthcoming newsletter, the Brighton Cemetorians Inc. are researching the name Weigall, one of the many branches of the a'Beckett family in Victoria. To even attempt to make sense of the a'Beckett family tree is fraught with danger and requires a good dose of Bex. The two Victorian branches of the family were (Sir) William (1806-69), first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and his brother Thomas Turner (1808-92). I am interested in hearing from anyone who may be researching any of the following surnames, all linked to the two (Victorian) a'Beckett brothers. A third brother, Arthur (1812-71) is the Sydney branch, who are mostly buried at Rookwood cemetery. Surnames are: a'Beckett Backhouse Boyd Chase Chomley Klingender Weigall One of my aims is to establish all the Melbourne Cemeteries that contain descendants of the a'Beckett family. At the moment, these are: Melbourne General Brighton The Necropolis Springvale Fawkner Berwick St. Kilda Thanks for Lois Comeadow for putting together a family tree of the a'Beckett surname.

Hi All I've been looking at the Family of Jeremiah Breeze and Sophia Cotton for several years. It wasn't until ancestory.com 1841 census of England came on line last Saturday, that I was able to connect Sohpia Cotton to her parents. Sophia was born about 1827, at Reydon, Suffolk to John Cotton and Mary Meckleburg. I found her living with her parents in the 1841 census of Reydon, but by 1851 she is living in London, England and working as a House Servant. She married Jeremiah Breeze in 1852, in Marylebone, Middlesex, London. Jereimiah, Sophia, and a dauther Irene, arrived in Melbourne on the Birmingham on January 27, 1855. The family appear to have settled in the Yambuk area, were Jeremiah must have worked as a carpenter. The children were 1. Irena, born about 1853/54 in England 2. Alfred William Breeze born 1858, in Yambuk, Victoria 3. Clara Eliza Breeze born in 1859, in Yambuk, Victoria 4. Ada Georgina Breeze born in 1861, in Yambuk, Victoria, married John Jones, in 1890, at St. Luke's Anglican Church, South Melbourne. 5. Teresa Albertha Sophia Breeze, born in 1863, in Yambuk, Victoria 6. Eliza Eugenia Breeze, born in 1864, in Yambuk, married a ??? Powell in 1900 in Victoria. 7. Eva Isabella Breeze, born in 1866, in Yambuk 8. Herbert Edward Samuel Breeze, born in 1868, in Yambuk, Victoria. One of your listers Cathie Shaw gathered the information on this family & sent it too me in February of 2004. Sophia's death certificate says her parents were Jno and Mary Cotton who were married in Wangford, Suffolk in 1819, and moved 5 miles down the road to Reydon, in the 1820's. John Cotton had a brother and sister, who's families immigrated to Canada in 1831, the brother, Noah Cotton settled in Oro Township, Simcoe County, and the daughter Mary Cotton ( Skippen, Catchpole ) settled in Guelph, Ontario. Connecting Sophia Cotton (Breeze) too her parents completes the trail of documentation. Mrs E Powell (No. 6 above) visited the descendants of Sophia's brother William Cotton in Wangford, in the summer of 1932, she missed meeting by day's a descendant of Noah Cotton who came over from the United States and the same time. I have a copy of the letter she wrote a cousin in Canada about the missed meeting, and what she found out during her trip. It is this letter which started my search. I'm now looking for descendants of the Breeze Family, the Powell family if any, and the Jones family if any. It is also possible there may be more children, than what Cathie found, as I don't know when they moved to Melbourne. Any help in finding these descendants will be appreciated. If anyone needs a lookup in the British Census's let me know, as I have access through Ancestory.com. It's best if you have a brith date, county, and town. Such as born about 1840, Hemham, Suffolk.
