Hi fellow listers Charles Hercules Lyttle born 1872 Sydney married Emma Peterson born 1876 Scone. I would love to hear from anyone researching this family. Cheers, Laraine

Hullo list I am looking for information on the family of James Bremner Martyr who was born in Tuena NSW in 1893 and died in Musswellbrook in 1975. His parents were Annie (Bremner) and Henry Thaddeus Martyr. He had one brother - Charles and a sister Helena (m McKenzie). Charles had no children and Helena had 4 daughters and possibly 2 sons. James Bremner Martyr married Ellen Davison in 1925 and had one son, Kenneth and a daughter Barbara. Barbara (m Haynes) had 2 children (at least 1 girl) and Kenneth had 3 daughters. Hence the Martyr surname from this line seems to have disappeared. I would love to bring my tree up to date if possible. Many thanks Jane Harris (nee Martyr)
