Good Afternoon Listers, We have overwhelmed by the responses, and suggestions to our plea for assistance with our James Oseen, who we now believe to be HAU/HOU Xin. We now are interested in finding more about our HAU Xin who was born in Amoy about 1827. His father's name we think was HAU Chung. We know that he married Emily BASS in 1858 Castlemaine, and Margaret Mowbray Black in 1862 Eaglehawk -both close to Specimen Creek where he was a storekeeper..... however, his means of travelling to Australia and his point of entry remain unanswered questions. HAU Xin died in 1868 and is buried in Campbells Creek cemetery....does any lister have access to this cemetery, or have a photo of the grave of James OSEEN.../HAU Xin? We have downloaded both marriage certificates, the death certificate, the entry from the Eaglehawk and District Pioneers Register Volume 4, and the only photo that we have: daughter Harriet OSEEN later known as Harriet CROSSLEY with her NICHOLLS grandchildren. Are there any listers interested in this family, or perhaps able to expand our knowledge?. We are exceedingly appreciative of all assistance both on Rootsweb, and on Chinese Genealogy With best wishes -- Pamela in Victoria, Australia Visit our family connections at: http://oysterfisher.tribalpages.com Contact us: [email protected] [email protected]
