Hi Listers, I am researching my GG granduncle, Richard King b1838 and his wife Camilla Locock b1843. They were married in 1859 at Hexham. I have seen reports in various internet sites that they had 32 children. I have found 21 in the BDM records, the 1st child born in 1860 and the last child born in 1889. I believe they resided in the Cessnock area. Does any other lister have any info re this family ? Many thanks John Rice Hervey Bay Qld

Hi John If you put in the online deaths King Father Richard & mother Cam* will bring some up & Com* check up to 1976. It must of been very hard to have so many but to have a lot of them die as babies even harder.

Hi Jennette, Thank you for your email and I will try your suggestion. I agree that it must be sad to have so many die at such a young age.

Are you sure they are all theirs????? Seems like a hell of a lot of children. Maybe their son married a woman with the same Christian name as his mother and they had some...............Just a thought.

Hi Kaye There was an article in the Cessnock Eagle 28 OCT 1949 about the 32 children but the copy of the article I received is barely readable. One researcher in Rootsweb said that they received a mantle clock from Queen Victoria.

Hi John, The death of a Camilla King (daughter of Thomas and Lucy) was reg. at Wollombi, No. 2990 in 1914. Is this the one? Her death cert., or a transcription, should give info on all the children, provided the informant knew of course. HTH Judy.

Sometimes, if an unmarried daughter had a child, the baby was registered with parents' names which were actually the names of the baby's grandparents! Look closely at the later births. Is there a cross reference? A birth registration place different from the usual place of abode?

hi Did you look at the deaths and match them Camilla is given some variations Commella Cornelia Comalla etc try King just with Richard and C* for the mum I see that they had a few children named after a dead sibling.....as in at least 2 Marys Christene

Hi John. 32 Children - Streuth. Fair enough not having TV in those days, but surely there must have been some sort of other entertainment to keep those folks out of trouble ! I suggest you try contacting Newcastle Library and also some of the Family Hist. places around the Upper Hunter Region. Good luck in your endeavors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Rice" <jrice@westnet.com.au> To: <aus-nsw-hunter-valley@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 2:16 AM Subject: [HV] 32 CHILDREN
