Hi Monica,

You have done well!  Thank-you very much for all this information.  Are you related, or a good Samaritan?    I had wondered about John Turnbull and Elisabeth Jack.  I do not know where the family had come up with John and Ann Anderson; like you I think there must be an additional generation of Alexander and Janet Masterton.  I will let you know if this leads to a revelation. 

Best Regards,
Margaret

Hi Ev and Monica,

Thankyou for the pointers.  This has been a big help as I have been looking through family search records and they certainly line up with Alexander Turnbull and Janet Masterton fom Fife.  The ancestry line for Janet seems straightforward but I can not pinpoint parents for Alexander.  Nor can I find death records for either Alexander or Janet.  Our Turnbulls went to Launceston, Tasmania.  Very straightforward ancestry there - it is just the scottish Turnbull line that is causing me grief.

Scotland / John TURNBULL and Ann ANDERSON

Hi,

Does anyone have a link to John TURNBULL married to Ann ANDERSON?  My ancestor is Alexander TURNBULL who came to Tasmania in 1854/5 as a bounty immigrant onboard the 'Raleigh'.  He came with his brother James and their families.   

Alexander (born abt 1832) was married to Agnes SMITH in (I think) Leuchars, Fife in 1851. Their children were: Agnes Walker (b.1852 in Fife), Janet Masterton (b.1855 at sea), Alexander (b. 1858 Pt Sorrell, Tasmania), Andrew Smith (b.1859, Deloraine, Tasmania), James Gordon (b.1863, Westbury, Tasmania) and David John (b.1874 Sheffield, Tasmania).

James was born in Wilton abt 1819 and was married to Margaret HILL in Roxburghshire.   They moved from Tasmania to Geelong, Victoria in 1857.   Their children were: Elizabeth (b.abt 1843, Rox.), John Anderson (b. abt 1846, Rox.), James (b. 1853, Rox), Agnes (b.1856, Woolnorth, Tas.).

I can't find records in Scotslands People for John TURNBULL and Ann ANDERSON or for their children James and Alexander (who I am starting to doubt were actually brothers???).  Does anyone have a connection?


Regards,
Margaret

Hi Manga,

Did you find the certificate you were looking for in 2005 (if not I do have a copy)?  I am looking for information on the same people.  I have some of the history of the Shoesmith family in Victoria but I have not been able to trace back any English ancestry of Frederick SHOESMITH or Henrietta FLETCHER.  Do you have any information on them?

In Victoria I am trying to find out what happened to a grandson of Frederick: his daughter Rosetta married Saul SAMUEL and had a tragic life.  One of her children was Henry Saul SAMUEL who later changed his name to VERNER.  We are trying to find where the surname VERNER came from.

Regards,
Margaret

Hi Valerie and David,

This is very exciting!  I would love more information on the Frys.  Sarah Fry is my husbands 3rd GGmother.  The Kitchings had farming land in St Cuthbert, Wells, Somerset but I can only get back to George Kitching b.1687.  I would very much appreciate it if you are able to help me with the Fry branch of the family.

Hi Martin,

I am looking for Frys in Somerset.  We have a Sarah Fry (b.1762 in Wells) m George Kitching (the younger) b.1758 in St Cuthbert, Wells.  Her parents were Stephan Fry (b.1733) and Johanna Fussell. My interest is in the Kitching family.  The family chat has it that the Frys are related to the Frys chocolate family but I can not find a link.

Does your pedigree relate to this branch of Frys?
Margaret
