Skant37 replied to Elayne Whatman's discussion Kingshott Information in the group Australian Convicts"Hi Fran, I was trailing through the Kingshott letters here and wondered whether you had found out about the Brookers yet?

Another question. As is the case for people with ancestors in the same place, I have a stray Francis Kingshott in my database as husband to Mary Ann Morgan, daughter of Sophia…"
Skant37 replied to Elayne Whatman's discussion Kingshott Information in the group Australian Convicts"Hi Elayne,
I forgot to say before that I have basic family tree info on the Kingshotts going back to 1580 if you would like to fill in any details. It's still a work in progress, but at least enjoyable work! They came from W. Sussex…"

Skant37 replied to Elayne Whatman's discussion Kingshott Information in the group Australian Convicts"Hi JacquiUK,

Russell Young replied to Elayne Whatman's discussion Rev.d Peter GUNN in the group Caithness Genealogy"Hi Elayne
No apology needed. I'm just glad to see one of the sites I visit start to get some activity. I'm not in Caithness but my ancestors started out in late 1790's in Halkirk then moved south to Edinburgh as did many other…"
Elayne Whatman added a discussion to the group Fermanagh Genealogy
Surname - MORAN
I am interested in finding if there were any MORAN's in this part of Ireland around the time of 1850 who may have set said for Australia either as a fare paying passenger or a convict. I am particularly interested in an Alfred Moran born 1863; parents unknown.This is a long shot, but maybe, just maybe, I will be able to find out something about my grandfather.TIAElayneAustralia See More

Russell Young replied to Elayne Whatman's discussion Rev.d Peter GUNN in the group Caithness Genealogy"Hi Elayne
Wick IS probably the largest town in Caithness which is a shire in the north of Scotland. I looked in the 1841 census and there are quite a few Peter Gunn s named but none in the ministry. Either he was in another place in Scotland in the…"

- Thanks Sue, I really appreciate your friendly Welcome. I am hoping to have time over the Festive Season break to do a little more family tree research - not sure how lucky I will be in that area, but anything is worth a try.
