Hello Everyone, This is my first time on this list. I am trying to trace Frederick John BUSH who left New Zealand in 1940 for Alice Springs accompanied by his wife Bessie (nee VOWLESS) and daughter Valrie BUSH born Dec 1939, Wellington, New Zealand and mother-in-law Laura May VOWLESS. I am not having much success and wondered if someone could put me on the right avenue to pursue them. It is very likely Valrie is still alive somewhere and I would like to find her and any other family that may exist. Bessie is my dad's half sister. Look forward to any advice that may be forthcoming. Kind regards - June J.

Hi Listers, I'm resending this as I am trying to do a little research for a friend. I would like to make contact with anyone researching the names Russell/Shears/Cummings/Prain & Vincent. I have a Thomas Russell with no spouse, one son Henry born abt 1870 in Victoria Aust I am told. Henry married Mary Shears 18 June 1900 in Hunterville NZ and they had 7 children (4 boys & 3 girls). Henry's mothers name does not appear on the marriage certificate only his fathers Thomas so I'm having difficulty in tracking him down. I would appreciate any help thanks.

John Downes OAKLY (commission agent/clerk)went to Australia from London. He married Sophia Jane CORDING on 13 March 1854 at St James Cathedral Church, Melbourne. They had 5 children: Ellen b. 1861 Bendigo, George b. 1865 Bendigo, Emma b. 1866 Sandhurst, Annie b. 1868 Bendigo and John b. 1869 Kangaroo Flat. George Downes OAKLY m1. Emma HOSKING 1896 Bendigo and m2. Edith Emily JANE 1899 Bendig. John and Sophia came to NZ around 1875 (did George go or did he stay in Aus as married twice there), I am unsure when exactly they came or how but they settled in Featherston. John died in 1890 Mirboo North, Gippsland (I think he was visiting Aus). John (the son)married Henrietta Maud RICHARDSON in 1897 Wellington, NZ. She was born 1873 Errol St Borough of Hotham, Melbourne. Her father was John Henry RICHARDSON (a hairdresser) b. 1831 Birmingham, England. I don't know when he arrived in AUS. He married 3 times: to Matilda KING, Maria FERGUSON and Francis FLOWER. Maria FERGUSON was born abt 1843 and came to AUS with her father Stephen (a shipwright) and mother Elizabeth. John and Maria were married Fitzroy 1865. She died in 1877(unsure where). I am seeking any extra info on these people. As I can afford it I will get more of the BDM's. I have lots of questions: Where are these people buried? Any siblings? What ships did J OAKLY and JH RICHARDSON come out from Eng on? How did the OAKLY's get to NZ? Where did these people work? Churches?I know there are lots of questions but any pointers are most appreciated. Thanks everyone, Virginia OAKLY NZ

I'm looking for any SUTHERLAND descendants, particularly in the New England region of NSW, and more particularly originating from Walcha in the 1850s. The family arrived over a period of 7 years between 1849 and 1856 from Fife in Scotland. The second and especially the third generation left the area and there are none carrying the name SUTHERLAND left. We are having a reunion in October and I'd like to make contact with as many as possible. Some lines have 'disappeared'. Associated names for the 2nd and 3rd generations originating in the New England area are: BERRY BRIDGE EGAN FARDELL FENERTY FRANCIS GOODWIN HANSON HATCH HAYDEN HERON HOLDER HOY HUNTER JONES KELLY LISLE McMILLAN OGILVIE RODEY SCOTT SMITH STEER SUTHERLAND TICKLE WEBB WINTERS WOOD WRITE Lynette Begg P.O.
