Twiglets - I think I may be one of your distant relatives from Australia. My ggrandfather was Thomas Hedley, who sailed to Victoria in Australia from Canada - as per Hedley Genealogy Index Page Cht 4 - I think I am a 4th cousin of David Hedley in Canada. Like David I would like to know more information about Thomas Hedley born about 1850 - from Birtley. My husband  and I visited Northumberland last year using the Prelude section of the Hedley Genealogy Index Page as our guiding light. We visited Newburn church and found the grave plot  with 3 headstones - 1. William and Frances Hedley, 2. Three of their sons and  3. Thomas and Mary Hedley of Newburn - I am interested to find out more information about this Thomas of Newburn. Is this our Thomas of Birtley? The death dates don't seem to coincide.   I was intrigued to find the Uncle (Thomas) of William Hedley in the same grave plot. Perhaps someone may have some information about this Thomas of Birtley.
I live in Western Australia.
Thanks.
