Hi Moira, My SHIPWAY interests were through the Wilmot THOMPSON/ John SHIPWAY connection, until I found out about this other lot!! I'm hoping the two SHIPWAYs are linked, as I'm not having much luck going further back from John SHIPWAY b. 1793 in Rodborough who married Eliza ALDRIDGE in 1817, and with their family arrived in Sydney in 1839. The Joseph you mentioned - where does he fit in? Helga, Takura, Qld.

Hi all Sorry I thought my new web page Address would appear at bottom of page? The Dipper must have been distracted with the Tailors arriving for the final fit of the new wet suit! because he hasn't noticed its changed so you can't access it from Hawkesbury page YET. www.btinternet.com/~Robert.Millard regards the Grave Robber

For anyone researching Shipways: I was looking through an LDS film 304774 on SA Immigration lists when I found the following Shipway family. 49/12 "Cheapside " sailed from Plymouth for Adelaide SA on 5 July 1849. Passenger No 7525 John Shipway Married, age 34 Shepherd from Gloucestershire. Wife Cathi 34, Children Thomas 8, Edward 6 and Esther 2. >From the ages etc I would say this is the family of John Shipway, born 1814 in Leighterton , son of John Shipway and Mary Creed, and Catherine Innis. Another Shipway relative , Joseph Shipway is said to have arrived on this ship but I did not find any other Shipways listed for that voyage.

Dear Listers, Just posting my interests as requested by The Pond Dipper. Come in all WITTS, LIMBRICK and DAVIS researchers, we MUST have names to exchange, with the Village being so small (it is small isn't it? please say yes!) I know I haven't seen it, but don't spoil my dream. I will HAVE to call next time I come to the GLO researching the above names. Regards and Best Wishes, The Beaufort Belle, or Belle to friends!!!!

Robert is obviously distracted by sharpening his spade for tomorrow morning as he forgot to add the URL for his web pages. Never mind because it can be accessed through the new and improved Hawkesbury pages at http://www.HawkesburyFamilyHistory.co.uk Therre are at least 2 WITTS researchers on the list who need to speak to each other. Post your interests as soon as possible. There are now 60 subscribers to the list. Saturday just happens to be Mr and Mrs Pond Dippers 6th anniversary. I am not going to remind her. Lets see if she remembers. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Looking for any information on a Charles Rugman born the 1800's in GLS and then later moved to the U.S. Any info on the Rugman's at all would be appreciated.

Hi all Anyone with interests in STINCHCOMB's should see the list I have uploaded to my web site you can find it under " STINCHCOMB A TO JANE" on the family history page it the first half and covers A to Jane including marriages which interconnects them to most other families in Hawkesbury part 2 soon . Ellen Hurdel the lady who runs a STINCHCOMB web site in the states who's ancester came from Hawkesbury to Maryland in 15th C has contacted me this evening she is very kindly sending a copy of the book on the STINCHCOMBS of early Maryland and Hawkesbury to me soon let you know when it arrives.

Roger, It isnt only Paris that is cold and we are supposed to be in the middle of summer. It is winter in New South Wales and warmer there than it is here. Oxbury is just one of the many spelling variations we have come across - and there are probably more. To date we know of Oxbry. Awksbry, Uxpre, Hawksbry. Does the William WOODWARD who married Ann Curtis PINCOTT figure in your files ? Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Hi all Here are a couple of little mysteries which someone may be able to help me with, especially since we have new members. My gt-grandmother was Rosina COOPER, baptised at Hawkesbury 30 October 1853, the daughter of Thomas COOPER and Elizabeth nee TAVENDER. Rosina's father died in 1854, and her mother married Charles TOGHILL, by whom she had two more children. In the 1861 census Charles and Elizabeth TOGHILL, together with various children, were living at Folly (it's on the road to Didmarton - there are a Folly Farm and a Folly Cottage there now). Rosina is not with them, but there is a Rose COOPER living (as a Visitor) with George and Jane WATTS in Back Street, Hawkesbury. I know of no link between my family and the WATTS family, and Jane Watts is shown as being born in Nailsworth, which makes it unlikely that there is a link there. Can anyone help? The other problem concerns Rosina COOPER's sister Sarah (Bap Hawkesbury 25 December 1842). Sarah had an illegitimate son Edward in 1876, and Edward is living with his grandparents in the 1881 and 1891 census. What happened to Sarah? Is there any record of her burial or marriage between 1876 and 1881? And now to list my Hawkesbury interests again. They are: COOPER THOMPSON TAVENDER TOGHILL COTES LONGNEY and if anyone has come across Albert Arthur Edward PROE, who married Rosina's sister Eleanor, please let me know. Thanks Bob Lawrence

I have finally got around to updating the web pages. Now accessible are the new 1851 census pages kindly created and maintained for us by Cousin Doug THOMPSON and the first page of The Pond Dippers Photo Album which has the picture that Linda and the rest of you have been hassling me about. Please do not email me about the spelling mistakes I was rushing. i will attend to them later. Amongst other new researchers we have a new HALE and WITTS researcher. Remember if you don't post your needs we cannot help you. Don't forget to join us at the Beaufort at Noon on Saturday the 15th July when we will be visiting the Hillesley Street Baptist Chapel Graveyard. Please diarise Saturday September the 30th at Hawkesbury when Cousin Anne MAYE nee MCQUILTY will be visiting us at the Beaufort from Armidale, New South Wales. Anne is a descendant of the THOMPSONs who left Hawkesbury in 1839 to sail on the Bussorah Merchant to Aus. Thats about it for now. Who are you looking for and when. if we do not know we cannot tell you if we are related. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Many thanks Kaye. I had forgotten / misplaced Ken's URL. It is certainly a site worth visiting. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Just got off the phone to Aus. Was talking about graveyards (put that spade down Robert). Did you know Ken that there are WOOLNOUGHs buried at Oldbury on the Hill. Does the Australian entertainer Peter ALLEN mean anything to you ? Geoffro The POnd Dipper

It is true it has been quiet. My apoligies if you feel The Pond Dipper has been neglecting you. We are now well on our way to 60 members. Those listers who have joined us in the past few days are hereby heartily welcomed and encouraged to post details of themselves and their Hawkesbury researches as soon as possible so that we can assist you and determine to which of us you are related. The past few days has been spent checking over some of my old files, as well as pursuing new lines of research. I hope to have news from the Methodist archives in Manchester soon. I have also been learning a new web publishing programme so that I can more easily update the web pages. To those who have not yet off list message replies forgive me I will attend to you soon. Remember all are welcome to join us on Saturday when we invade the Hillesley Street Baptist Chapel Graveyard to unearth ( Put the spade down Robert) its secrets. We will leave the Beaufort at 12 noon. I have finally finished inputting the data into the THOMPSON / SHIPWAY file (only the Mary Jane THOMPSON side) and it now stands at 2063 individuals. This will hopefully be distributed to the cousins in a day or two if no new information arrives before then. I hope to be able to do some work with The Grave Robber and Benson around the STINCHCOMBE and CHAPPELL families. Adrian Sheppards work will be a tremendous benefit here. Bernadette has kindly started indexing the 1881 Hawkesbury strays for us and I shall continue indexing the burial register between 1813 and 1884 at every chance. Thats about if for now. Happy Hunting. Geoffro The Pond Dipper

Hi Ann In fact we have been planning our expedition to Hilesley st chapel as the grass is so long we have been looking for tree fellers or was it three fellows I can't remember after a pint in the Beaufort arms. Any way the population of Hilesley are excited to learn of the visit on Saturday of the venerable Pond Dipper although they express their sorrow in not having a village pond should he fancy a dip whilst there but we have obtained Dippers rights with divers at the Mill pond at Killcott near by, they did ask if the Dipping could be done between 12 and 3 o'clock as they would all be in the Fleece public house and as Killcott stream is the water supply for Hilesley they didn't want the afternoon tea affected or was it infected. So Ann will we see you on Saturday armed with clippers and field glasses and wellie boots were going to dig up uuuh no clear the grass and record the inscriptions. regards The grave robber ---- Original Message ----- From: <AS11648@aol.com> To: <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 11:36 PM Subject: [[Hawks]] Very Quiet Out There! > Have you all gone off on a dig or something?

Re the family of Thomas and Ann TEAGLE living Hillesley 1851 with chn William 25, George 12, Worthy 10, Mary Ann 6, Louisa Jane 2. Their son John C TEAGLE also born Hillesley c 1835 was living Tetbury 1851.They arrived SA per "Royal Charlie" 1854 (except for son William). Ann bc1810 Woodford died on the voyage. I imagine that Ann MAY have been a second marriage and that the chn starting from John may be hers. I have just found son John's death in the new SA Death Index (1842-1915 m/f and CDROM - very little useful info apart from age, death date and place) and he is given as John Crump TEAGLE - could this have been Ann's maiden name?
