Hi I am trying to ascertain the actual dates of birth of several of the children of Joseph and Bridget Walmsley. I am aware of the actual birth dates of Ellen, Alice and Joseph, but not of Robert circa 1856, Mary circa 1860, Frederick circa 186,1 William circa 1865, Lavinia circa 1867 and Constance circa 1871. They were all born in Newcastle. I would appreciate any assistance in obtaining actual birth dates. regards John Bird

Dear John, I have information on the Walmsley family shared by members of this list in about 2002. My connection is with Constance Louise Walmsley (db.1871 Newcastle, NSW). (Parents: Joseph Walmsley and Bridget Power). (Notes mention that Constance was one of the nine children of Joseph and Bridget) Joseph was born in Great Bolton, Lancashire around 1820 and arrived in Australia in 1849 with wife Martha Smith and sons. (Bridget was the second wife of Joseph Walmsely and married in 1852 in Newcastle NSW) Constance married George Earnshaw Broughton in Newcastle in 1890 and died in 1946 in Liverpool NSW. I will contact you off list regarding forwarding documentation of this Walmsley/Broughton Family Helen Kennett. Atherton Tablelands.
