Yippee! Another cousin! My family just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. I am seriously doing the happy dance! George went to Australia first? That might explain a lot! I have been in touch with another cousin in NZ who says when he married Sarah McLelland he was shown as a widower, so I wonder if he married in Britain and she died en route or in Australia. Perhaps that's why he left there and went on to NZ. It surely would help if we could find some family Bibles somewhere, huh? If I knew the first wife's name, I could probably track the rest. But knowing he went to Australia first gives me someplace else to look and that might break down that wall. I have been working on my Winter files quite a lot of late, as have two of our Eyre cousins. It's been very exciting to make all the connections. I don't know Joyce and Ardith, but would love to be in touch with them. My great grandfather, Thomas was very close to Herbert, at least until my great grandparents moved to California. Since the only cousin's names my mother knew belonged to some of his boys, I feel they probably remained close in spirit, but not as in touch since they lived so far apart. Their wives were sisters, so it was a strong bond. John, I hope we can get the communications open again amongst our family. That would be so wonderful. My mother is an only child and thought her family was tiny. You can't imagine the surprised when I finally was able to find the Winter and Eyre families. Then when I found the Krohn side it was exploded again. It has been an amazing journey. My email address is s3js9938@gmail.com I can't wait to tell the others and put you all in touch, too. Hooray! It's time I got to work, but I'll be back to you later. Again, so good to meet you! Blessings, Susan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have tried many times and cannot come up with a census listing of Henry Gould. That would be the only way I could determine where he was born. He lived on the Northeast corner of North Twin Lake. That is in Sherman Township. It is 5 miles west of Hope Cemetery. I am pretty sure that there are no Calhoun County History 1854-1984 for sale. They ran out many years ago. I don't think they were able to reprint. The title of the pamphlet is <1967, A Tour of Calhoun County Historical Sites.> When Manson celebrated their centennial they made two publications. You have one and I have the other. the one I have is a very large, 11 by 15 inch. Someone went through the old newspaper articles and clipped a para here and one there and put them together. there is no index, so it is very time consuming to look anything up. I have highlighted the names so it goes a bit quicker. Sorry I couldn't find any more.

I spent quite a bit of time yesterday, looking for any trace of a W. Gould and found none. What was the latest time you have info on him? I looked through all the Ancestry.com census and records I did find Sarah age 39 living with a brother-in-law George Allison family Emma must be the sister. That was in the 1880 census The death index shows Sarah died 3-8-1900. There were a few other Gould names in Sherman Township, but not as many as I would have thought. I have an 1884 map, but it does not show Gould on land near Manson. I'm not sure of the location of the hope cemetery but will find out. Did W.M. (what does that stand for?) die early or did he move on? I have a copy of the Centenial edition of the Manson Journal. This is a book of old Journal articles. It is very hit or miss in finding anything about anyone, but I didn't find any references to Gould.
