Hi, I have recently found that by 1895 many of my WHYTE family had moved from Townsville to the Towers. I wonder if someone with interests there may be able to help with some more information on them. My g.g.grandfather died in 1890 and I found a submission by his widow to sell their land in Townsville so it could be divided up between the children. This listed the children and where they were. I found that the widow Agnes was in Charters Towers as was a married daughter - Eliza the wife of Joseph Johnson with a daughter Elizabeth and later a son, James. 3 single children were also there - Agnes McGowan Whyte, William Whyte (working for the railway) and Andrew McGowan Whyte (a miner). Another brother James had died there in 1894. 2 married sisters were in Townsville - Mary Baird the wife of Charles Carlson (a master mariner) and Anne the wife of Gustav Sirienius (a fireman). The last member of the family was Williamina the wife of Alexander Robert McGregor (lighthouse keeper at Archer Point south of Cooktown. If anyone knows any more about this family I would be most appreciative. Regards Heather
