Hi listers, Almost headed this message "Amazing Coincidences in Genealogy".... Herewith some details of Robert WOOLNOUGH, a Suffolk immigrant who moved to Hawkesbury circa 1837 and emigrated to Oz in 1852 folowing the death of his wife Eliza. Today he has many descendants in New Zealand, where he and two daughters moved in 1855. I first learned about this family when one of the Kiwis moved to Sydney, just two doors up the road from my mother who is descended from Robert's brother George..... small world, eh? George was in Hawkesbury c1837-c1840 and both brothers were innkeepers there when their first children were christened in 1837. 1841 Census for Hawkesbury being that part of the parish called the Tithing of Upton Robert 30 Farmer N Eliza 25 Y Elizabeth 3 b.31/12/1837 Y Mary 1 b. 19./4.1840 Y Dixon Mary 5 1851 Census for Hawkesbury Upton Robert, Widower 43 Farmer Yoxford, Sfk Mary Ann 11 Scholar Hawkesbury, Glos Sarah Ellen 5 Niece Scholar Sherston, Wilt 1846 Schoops Sarah 67 Widow Housekeeper Chediston, Sfk Gardner Henry 24 Farm Servant Hawkesbury, Glos Note, Sarah is Robert's mother whose second husband was Noah SCOPES (or SCHOOPS). Incidentally, I am watching the Olympic Games right now and the rowing is taking place on the Nepean River, which further downstream becomes the Hawkesbury River, one of the most beautiful river valleys near Sydney. Sigh.. memories..... Cheers, Ken Murray, inveterate Aussie stuck in New York researching owners and occupants of Trouble House Inn near Tetbury http://www.labscan.com/trouble/
