I wonder whether anyone knows of this family? I have in my possession a letter that was written to my gt. grandparents Rufus and Elizabeth WHITE here in Hastings, Sussex. It refers to them as Uncle and Aunt. The letter was from 15 Leicester Avenue, Strathfield, Sydney and dated 27th January 1925. It mentions Nellie his wife and the girls. I have found out that the surname was WHITE. That is the limit of my info and I'd like to find out, where Leonard links in. I have no age to guide me and I don't know whether he was living in Hastings before he emigrated, or when he emigrated. If there is anyone out there that links in with this family, or who can locate a possible death for me I'd like to hear from them, in fact any help would be very much appreciated, so that I can at least find a place in my large WHITE family. Seems such a pity that he is out on a limbo. For your interest some of the names that I'm researching that come from Hastings, and I know that some have travelled over to your side of the big pond, are:- BOSSOM, COURT, GOURLEY, LUCKETT, PHILLIPS, SWAIN, WILDE. Also three others that were there some of the time. CARPENTER who originated from Roehampton, Surrey. HOWES who was listed as from Hereford and Ipswich, Suffolk but no bapt found as yet. SARGENT from Bexhill as well, birthplace Sussex but not known. I will post some of my other names at a later date, as I'm sure that it might help somebody. Happy hunting to everybody. Frances Bunyan, Stanmore, Middlesex, England.

Gentlepeople, I may have it right this time. I am trying the reply all button Cheers Kathleen Gentlepeople-- Greetings to the New List. I have been trying to track down an Uncle of mine for many years, as has my family. Patrick J. Beattie, left Ireland as an Irish Christian Brother probably around the 1920's. He went originally to Australia---not sure where he worked there---but anyway he left and joined the Merchant Marines and later married an Australian girl, first name Maud ?. As far as the family knew he had at least one son also named Patrick J. Beattie. I hope that this new posing on a new site may prove a clue. Any clue no matter how small and how faint would really be appreciated. I should mention here also that he was born in Belfast, Ireland. Thank all of you in advance for any help whatsoever Kathleen Donnelly (Grandfather Patrick J. Beattie, Sr. mother Agnes Beattie) Northridge, CA U.S.A. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cliff Kerr <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 12:49 AM Subject: [AUSTRALIA-NEW-ZEALAND] Message from List Owner > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cliff Kerr" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 6:16 PM > Subject: {not a subscriber} Message from List Owner > > > > Yes i am sending again > > To my new friends.... > > Welcome to my list....... > > For our New Zealand friends you have wanted your own list for some time > now, so this is the best that i can do for you, it does contain the word NEW > ZEALAND so use it to your best advantage and tell your friends about the > list you should all thank a young lady by the name of LYNNE in > > New Zealand for this list starting off as we both had a problem with the > amount of rubbish on another Australian lists......... > > To the Australians the list will be used for both countries and the > postings will be up to the members as to who gets the majority of > postings......... > > Those members that live in other parts of the world i welcome you and hope > that you can gain a lot of information from both countries...... > > > > All those that have subscribed please, start sending your messages to get > us off and running... > > We have now about 160 members but not many have sent their interests along > for others to work with..... > > > > Lets have an influx of messages and stop the knockers that have had a go > on other lists.Especially the New Zealand ones you have tried to get your > own list so try and make this list yours. > > > > So i wish you all a great responce and hope that you make the list a great > success. > > > > Cliff Kerr > > List Owner > > Australia > > > > > > ______________________________

I have lots of names I'm researching in Australia, but will start with a MARY BEHN, daughter of JOHN FREDERICK BEHN (sometimes known as Fred/Frederick) and his wife Frances Alice HOWES/HOUSE. Mary was born in Adelaide in the ?1850's. I don't have access to the SA records. I would be very grateful to anyone who can help out. I am happy to do look ups, as time permits, in The Victorian Pioneer Index and associated other Victorian Indexes including Edwardian, Federation Great War etc. I also have Tasmanian BDM index, and the BVRI for Britain.

Dear All, We are interested in family connections to an Edwin Crossland who emigrated to Australia from Wakefield in Yorkshire, England in 1865. He sailed for Australia from Liverpool on the 3rd May 1865 accompanied by his wife Sarah Ann (nee Barker) and his infant son Albert Edwin. The Courier Mail (Brisbane) dated 8th September 1865 reported the arrival of their vessel, the sailing ship Melmerbe, a Black Ball Packet Ship of 1510 tons, the day before. The newspaper also reported that there were 570 passengers on board - all in excellent health and spirits (newspapers have not changed). Sarah Ann and Albert Edwin were to die within the year. Edwin went on eventually to work in the goldfield's, and came down with Bill Smith's party where they camped at Smith's Creek, which later became Cairns. We are interested in contacting any parts of the family not already known, and are also interested in contacting any Crossland name connections, especially back to Yorkshire and possibly Wakefield. Many Thanks, Alan and Martin Crossland. [email protected]

Looking for any information on James DONALD, b. 2 Nov. 1836 Kinrossie, Perth, Scot.; christened 11 Nov. 1836 at U.P. Churach Balbeggie, Perth, registered at Collace, Perth. His parents were John DONALD and Janet WELCH/WELSH. Family lore is that he "went to New Zealand in early life, made no return trips". Sheila Kronenberger Belleville, Illinois, USA

Looking for any information on Alexander CAMPBELL, possibly born 9 Feb 1823 Kildalton, Islay, Argyl, Scotland of parents Robert CAMPBELL and Ann GILCHRIST. He left Islay abandoning his wife of a few months, Mary JOHNSTON (who was pregnant) and went to Australia. According to family lore he died there before 1913. He may have married again, not mentioning his already married state. This may be him immigrating: Alexander Campbell, age 35 (therefore born about 1822), arrived Australia (Victoria?), July 1857 on ship Kitty Simpson, Port F, Fiche 052, page 001.

Hi folks from beautiful Toronto, Lake Macquarie NSW - Newcastle Knights to win Sunday!!!!!! 4 areas of special interest:- George GLOVER/Harriet Champion in Victoria, NSW and New Zealand pre-1865, last known in Maitland area, NSW; also MacDONALD families in NZ linked to families of same name in Grafton area of NSW post 1850 - descendants of Norman MacDonald who went NZ post 1860; also interested in GILBERT families in NZ descended from John and Mary (Fowler) Gilbert who came to NSW 1839 on "Roxburgh Castle". Finally as Archivist/Librarian for Uniting Church in Australia (Methodist, Congregational and some Presbyterian churches which joined to become UCA in 1977), can assist with a range of church records for these denominations including some baptismal and marriage info which is not on the official Births, Deaths, and Marriages registers. Sadly need to receive upfront min. research fee of $22 gst included for the UCA research matters to help keep the archives going - write me at PO Box 2395, North Parramatta 1750 for UCA research - refer QUICKSEARCH. Presbyterian Church Archivist also involved in Quicksearch, so you get the best of both worlds if you have a specific Presbyterian heritage with NSW connections. Daryl Lightfoot

Hi Cliff Its now 5 days since I joined your list and I still have not received any post can you help? Vera
