Hi Listers I thought at last that someone had a connection to my WHEATLEY family until I realised it was the other family of WHEATLEYs that were in the area at the same time. Is there anyone out there that has connections to the WHEATLEYs who settled in the Morpeth area in the mid 1850's. The two who started the dynasty were John WHEATLEY and Elizabeth Barbery WHEATLEY nee HENDERSON. They married in Howick Northumberland and a number of their decendants, including myself, have Howick as one of their christian names. The family eventually moved to the north of Sydney where John was involved with the Church but not as a Minister. Regards Gary
