HelloSally, I have been reading your letter to Michael re: grandparents/ ancestors. Now, have you any idea from which country these ancestors came from? Was from it England or Island of Wight ? What possible area? I have one Whittington " Daniel" b. 1800 /03 Sussex England in our Tree who came with his first wife Jane Bishop and two sons James Martin b. 1826 and William 1827 back in the County of Sussex in England. The family came to Australia on a grant of farm land from the Government of England. They settled in the Swan River, W.A. , Australia.It looks like Daniel had three spouses over his period of life. Check this out. I loved to share information with you.
