Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for replying. I have not been able to get that web address displayed so far, but will keep trying. I am not sure about Whittlesea - I think the original Popples came from Leicester England and came to Australia 1844. They were Thomas & Mary Popple They had about 9 children - Betsy, William, Matthias, Frederick, Thomas (all born in UK) then Rebecca, Mary Jane and Marian born in Aust. Apparently they went first to Morang which was later known as Yan Yean and then Mernda) John, Frederick and Thomas moved to Thornton near Alexandra. I have more if you see a connection. Frederick married Isabella Baird and they had 9 children also. Do you want more?
