I tried to check the Cessnock Pioneer register but it is not on line as I can see. Many thanks John

Hi John Thank you very much for your time and effort you have put into checking and listing the 24 King children as it helps put to-gether a clearer idea of my family. Does the pioneer book mention other King family members, and does it have entries on the Welch/Welsh or the Perkins families? If it does I will try and buy a copy.
