Dear Listeners, Here is an interesting one. I have a birth certificate for Lilly Marion Kingston born on 8th December 1888 that shows Charles Cameron Kingston as father and Priscilla Black as mother. Lilly was born at Halifax Street, Adelaide. CC Kingston was Premier of SA and was married to my long suffering great, great Aunt, Lucy May McCarthy. He was exhumed recently in an attempt to match his DNA to Malcolm Simpson through Genevieve Dreshler but that proved inconclusive. The tests showed a DNA link to Peter Beaumont from Queensland whose Great Grandmother had worked in the Kingston household. It is rumoured that CCK had a second child with Priscilla Black who live near Port Lincoln. Any information about this rumour or the fate of Lilly and her sister would be appreciated. It is also rumoured that CCK was the father of Albert Augustine (Bert) Edwards born 6 Nov 1888. Bert's father is not known but he displayed similar characteristics to CCK. Jane Lomax-Smith who has researched Bert may have more information. If you can shed any further light on this saga, please let me know. Best wishes, Richard McCarthy Sent from my iPad

When the exhumation of CCK was talked about taking place there was quite a large coverage in the Advertiser - don't think I kept the article but I'm sure the people at State Library of SA will be able to help you with this. You might find that item interesting if you can find it.
