Would love to hear from anyone who has information or is a desdendent of the TAN SING family. George TANSING was born about 1832 and married Ada Mary STEPHENS. They both died in the 1920s. George had a shop in Malop St. George and Ada had four children - Joseph, George, Kathleen and William Henry Lane TANSING. William died in 1947 so was born about 1890 - no details of his birth known. He married Ida Pearl HIGGINS in Liverpool Sydney in 1913 - awaiting copy of certificate. William and Ida had five children - William Edwin Stanley b 1913 Charles Henry b 1915 Eva May b 1918 Aubrey Lane b 1922c and Dorothy (birth year not known). The name LANE keeps popping up in the family! Wondering where that is from. Other surnames found while searching TANSING are STEPHENS HIGGINS SIRE BEAL(E) HARDY/HARDEY TANNER WATTERSON LYNCH BAILEY KILFORD ELLIS DANGAR O'SULLIVAN McKINLEY and ELDRIDGE Regards Vicki Smith
