Dear Listers A lot of Thanet people came to Oz. My descendants are one. I have an extensive datbase on my lines and their early times in Oz. They were very early settlers. My Lines Edward Page who married Bethia Harlow. Edward buried 13 dec 1799 at St Nicholas at Wade, married 12 Oct 1775 at St Nicholas at Wade. Bethia buried 22nd March 1830 at St Nicholas at Wade. Children Bethia, Edward, John Ann, John. My line Edward Page born about 1776, married 27 Dec 1802 at St Nicholas at Wade. Died 9 June 1846 in Melbourne, Australia. Wife Margaret Bourne born about 1782, died 5 August 1839 in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Children Eliza, Anne, Edward, John William. I am from John William born 1st May 1818 at St Laurence. Died 9 October 1863 at Woodend, Victoria. John and his brother Edward came from Tasmania very early and settled near Melbourne or rather a small village to become Melbourne. They are celebrated in historic records of the early settlers and bought had the first sheep to lamb probably in Victoria since Victoria, then part of New Soth Wales was settled from Tasmania or Van Dieman's Land. Edward Page and his wife Margaret nee Bourne lived at Eccles or Acol at some time, certinly 1823 and also spent time at Herne Bay. Edward the son was born at Herne Bay. He was a farm labourer. Edward the father aged 47 was tried at Canterbury and received a life sentence for a trivial offence and was transported to Australia. The family followed shorthy after on a ship for female prisoners and familes of prisoners. There may be Listers who might connect to me. I have been helped by other listers but there may be some new ones. PAGE, BOURNE, HARLOW are names of interest. I have a fascinating lot of info on the sons Edward and John Willian in Australia recorded in the Library in Melbourne. Brian Page Mount Gambier South Australia

Dear Brian I also have Thanet Pages, but can't place your Edward or his wife. My Edward was born in 1773 in Gravesend, Kent and was buried at St. Lawrence's, Thanet, Kent 13 Sep 1835. He was the son of John Page and Sarah. His wife was Hannah Gibbens, daughter of John Gibbens and Elizabeth Mungham. Edward and Hannah appear to have had three sons named Edward. The first two died young, and the third one was christened at Ramsgate 19th Jan 1812. Judging by the dates, your Edward may well have been an uncle of my Edward who married Hannah Gibbens. Do you go any further back than that?
