My g-g-grandfather was John COVEY b.1831 in Froyle, Hampshire, England. His parents were James COVEY and Lucy (unknown). John, a farm carter, married Mary Maria MAIDMENT, a laundress b.c1840 Pimperne, Dorset. They had the following children: Charles Thomas COVEY (my g-grandfather), b.1869 in Bentley, Hamp., m. Ada NEWMAN (b.1868 Leckford, Hamp.). They married in 1892 in Winchester, Hampshire. William COVEY, b.c.1871 Bentley, Hampshire. George COVEY, b.c.1873 Bentley, Hampshire. Frederick COVEY, b.c.1876 Bentley, Hampshire. Alfred COVEY, b.c.1879 Bentley, Hampshire. Apart from my g-grandparents, I know very little of this family and would be happy to hear from anyone who knows more. regards, Martin Elliget -- Fig Tree Pocket QLD Australia AUS-RAN List Administrator Email: AUS-RAN-admin@rootsweb.com http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/AUS/AUS-RAN.html
