I am researching my great grandfather Christopher DEACON, and his brother Godfrey, and sister Esther. Edward and Esther DEACON arrived in Australia on the "Norfolk" in 1874, with their children Godfrey, Esther and Christopher. I think some older children came out separately, but am not sure yet. Edward was a watchmaker in Little Collins Street, Russell Street, and later Chapel Street, Prahran. Godfrey married Dora LAWRENCE in 1886 in South Melbourne ? Victoria, no children found. Godfrey was a sewing machinist in the Sands & McDougall directory of 1878. Esther married Alfred William WEBB in 1885 in Victoria, known children were Alfred Harold born 1886 in Carlton, died 1887 in Richmond Edward John born 1887 in Port Melbourne, died 1889 in Brunswick Esther born and died 1889 in Brunswick East Rosaline Verlly born 1892 in Brunswick Thomas Livinston born 1898 in Foster Robert James born 1900 in Foster, died 1960 ? Esther died in 1900 near Foster, did Alfred WEBB re-marry ? Christopher married Alicia Eleanor ROARK in 1889 in Shepparton. children were John Albert (Bert) born 1890 in Lilydale, married Sarah Ann/Jane PULFORD Edward Leighton (Ted) born 1891 in South Melbourne, married Minnie DEACON Alfred Francis (Alf) born 1894 in Brunswick, married Myrtle Olga BRANSGROVE Emily Eleanor (Em) born 1895 in Werribee, married George CARRIS Florence Christina (Flo) born 1900 in North Melbourne, married Charles Gordon DOLPHIN Reginald George (Reg) born 1901 in North Melbourne, married Louisa Maud BRYANT Christopher was a plumber and gasfitter, and apparently a bit of an inventor. Christopher apparently left his family in the early 1900's, and I have been unable to find any further trace of him (or Godfrey). Did they go somewhere together ? Does anyone have any connections or information ? Ray Hayes Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Researching HAYES, NORTON, CLAY, DEACON, DELVE, SIDNEY, McCLURE, THORNE
