The Irish patriach Thomas married Mary Hefferon in Victoria in 1856 and they had at least 8 children from 1857 to 1868. They were; Annie (married a Calder), Mary (married Denis Murphy), Edward (Ned), John Francis (Jack) Peter James, Anne, Charlotte and Margaret (Maggie) I have lots of family memorabilia and would love to contact some family.

She held the license of two hotels in Tarcutta NSW after James' death (I assume). She also remarried in 1887 at Wagga Wagga, NSW. Her death notice appears in the Argus on 27 March 1915 p11 under the name of Doyle-Aviss. I have the names of six children of James and Margaret and am interested in the year of James death. I am researching publicans in NSW. I'm not a relation to this family. I'm happy to share the information I have.

Family stories suggest my grt maternal grandfather Thomas James HINMAN might actually be a TOZER. Story goes he was in British Navy, jumped ship in India, changed name and came to Qld Australia where her married. Death certificate indicates he was born in Devon approx. 1862 - died in Coburg in 1946. Old family stories suggest his name correct name might be TOZER/TOWSER? Suggestion he was a nephew to Rear Admiral Pelham? Another story that he was born within sound of Bow Bells which would make him a Cockney? Lots of conflicting anecdotal info - frustrating search. Thos Jas HINMAN/TOZER? returned to UK for visit after George V pardoned deserters. Any suggestions? Bev .................... If a relation to PELHAM..this is on Peerage: Rear-Admiral Hon.

Both Trees only show the daughter Frances' family - and one has a photo of Frances' daughter. I could get you in touch with that Tree owner if you are interested The Trees have Thomas' birthplace as Plymouth Devon,but there is no birth record for that - there is a HINMAN family there but no Thomas b 1862 - so this needs a bit of work - maybe the marriage cert could give details You may like to know that Thomas returned to England in 1937 aged 75! Name: Thomas Hinman Birth Date: abt 1862 Age: 75 Port of Departure: Brisbane, Australia Arrival Date: 3 May 1937 Port of Arrival: Hull, England Ports of Voyage: Brisbane gave proposed address as ' Aust.

Florrie is Florence Kathleen ( slight name change here) and she is over at 3 Cameron St, Richmond North -occ ' general' By 1931, he is with Florence Kathleen ( a machinist) and Beatrice ( home duties )- at 13 Kelson St by 1937, he is with Beatrice and son Robert Victor, a labourer by 1942, it is just Thomas and Beatrice at home by 1949, Thomas is listed as on his own but there is a line through his name and " O R" alongside You will find some refs in the newspapers as well ..eg: 1928 DOG KILLS CHICKENS. Claim for Damages Fails.' Leslie James Hill Hurley, salesman and poultryfarmer, of Bellevue street, Coburg, brought an action against Thomas Hinman, of Kelson street, Coburg, before Judge Macindoe... and 1949: . THOMAS HINMAN Late of 13 Kelson Street Coburg Retired Tobacco Operative Deceased -After fourteen clear days Josephine Marquis of 23 Suvla grove North Coburg married woman and Robert Victor Hinman c1 Saxon street Numurkah railway employee, the executrix and executor appointed by deceased s will dated the twelfth day of February 1937 will APPLY to the Supreme Court for a grant of PROBATE of the said WILL It seems he was charged with assault in 1882 in Qld - although there was another man, a railway porter who was later killed in 1886 - so may not be your man involved in the assault charge.

Someone more knowledgable might want to confirm or deny, but I believe that relief workers were basically like work for the dole in the great depression, they would be paid a government wage, but would have to go where the work was.

So we are of the belief that Alice may have adopted mum.....either that or alice is mums biological mum and became pregnant to Jacob. My middle name is also May...nice little family tradition it would seem. I do have a few pics of Alice and would be more than happy to share those with you. I have fond memories of my nan and remember that she bred silky terriers. She loved dogs. We also have letters that John sent her from the frontline during the war. A pic of James would be nice.
