I am researching relatives of (1) John HICKSON and Janet (nee MORRISON) whose family were largely born in Terara, Shoalhaven, NSW. John was born circa 14 Jan 1844 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, ENG. to Charles and Margaret (nee GRIFFITHS).JOhn married Janet at Terara on 13 Jan 1868 in the CofEng. and he worked as an engineer. They had 11 children of whom I have detail, including John Frederick HICKSON who married Edith May WEARNE and were the parents of my grandmother. (2) William BOLES some of whose descendants migrated to the NSW south coast area. William was born 10 Mar 1827 in Campbelltown, NSW and married Catherine ANGUS at Carcoar on 8 Oct 1850. They had a son William Joseph BOLES born at Canoblas, decsd. at Manildra. William had 13 chidren with his wife Ann Bridget O'MALLEY / O'HULLEY from 1880 to 1900 including another William (Billie) BOLES who married Nellie G. (Ellen Grace) BERGER. These two families of HICKSON and BOLES are not directly related except by marriage and links to my (BERGER) family. I can send text reports and GEDCOM files on request, Yours faithfully, Peter Berger
