I am presently researching my family, with origins in England, Canada & Australia. James b1812 Appledore, Kent,married Margaret Handlen 8 December 1830 in Trois Rivieres, Canada. A sonThomas was born in 1833 Lower Quebec Canada. In 1849 James, Margaret & Thomas came to Australia on the Cornwall from Gravesend. Thomas married Margaret Hall nee Aitchison in 1854 and they all lived at Raymond Terrace (outskirts of Newcastle) where they owned 3 of the towns hotels. Thomas & Margaret had 4 children (with Margaret having 3 children from a previous marriage - 2 surviving), Eliza b 1859 being my great grandmother. If anyone can assist I am willing to share information. Can you solve the mystery of why they travelled to Canada originally and then returned to England prior to settling in Australia. Looking forward to hearing from you, Lesley Afflick | "The Holdstock Family Home Page" Updated September 5, 2000 |
