Hi Zander
Our local rector is Malcolm Acheson who defininitely has Irish ancestors. I will mention this to him, see if he knows anything about Hugh.

Hi Jenn
I have a gg grandfather from Ireland who gave 2 different counties as his place of birth on 2 different documents. (no towns - just counties) I keep thinking maybe he didn't come from Ireland at all. My other Irish man said he was born in Wexford (the town or the county - who knows). They didn't give much away when they started a new life in Oz.
Zander's information looks much like what I found on a marriage certificate for my folks

Hi Zander
As promised, I had a word with our Rector, but he is not aware of anyone in the family called Hugh.
Sorry. Obviously if he does come up with anything, I'll let you know.

I spoke to Malcolm Acheson who told me that his ancestors come from Portadown and Castle Caulfield which is near Dungannon.

hi shargon,
sorry my acheson/aitcheson family are all from co.antrim so don't think there is a connection there,
have found out that hugh acheson born 18 june 1902 left for australia on 2 april 1925 from london,
left also with a friend called john gillan,
i have no other information apart from this,
cheers zander
