Hi Kaye and List, I haven't done anything on this little branchlette for years, I was just entering something else on the computer, and there they were. I have not sighted the marriage, cannot remember even where I got it from - I keep better records now. The interesting thing is that Annie, the child born in Australia, married an Edwin HORNE, and another one of the Wicks family married a Charlotte Reeves HORNE. It is just a continuation of all sorts of interlinking within the family. Now, HORNE isn't another name from around Hawkesbury, is it??? I have been in contact with Ian, and yes, Hannah WICKS is another direct ancestor of mine. I now have as much as I know about this VAISEY/WICKS/SARGEANT group on two pages at http://www.netspace.net.au/~kapana/Wicks.html/ http://www.netspace.net.au/~kapana/Vaisey.html/ There is a link there, too, to the Bussorah Merchant, the ship they arrived on. When I find a chance, I will try and put up a passenger list, as Geoofro tells me at least the Thompsons were on there as well. There may be other links. The really interesting thing is that the WICKS and VAISEY families came to Australia to join another part of at least one of their families (the wives were first cousins), but I have never been able to pin down who it was. This HAM family is a possibility. Cheers Linda >Did you find out anything useful on this? I would like to add them to my >index too.
