I think your Alfred Hankey may be the son of John Hankey and Mary Halliday m. Apr-Jun 1905 Chorlton, Lancashire, England
Doris Hankey was Doris Edith Parker b.c1915 d.24 Aug 1990 Unanderra, NSW, AUS d/o Robert Stebbings Parker and Emily Edith Medcalf
(I had been looking for the death of Doris Sankey d.11 Jan 1989 Carlingford and wanted to eliminate your Doris through mis-typing or bad spelling)

Hi Bram
I am most interested in your James Henry Dewhurst b.c.1840 Keighley.
I have several James Henry Dewhurst's born in Keighley - 1855, 1866, 1878 m. Rosetta Dunn, Clara Simpson, and Unknown respectively. What is your line back to James Henry Dewhurst and do you know much beyond that?
Thank you
David Freeman

The other John Smith Dewhurst b.c.1855 d.c.18 Jan 1921 Perth, Western Australia bur. 18 Jan 1921 Karrakatta Cemetery, Perth, WA - this is the one I was really interested in, however happy to receive any information on the first one as they may link up.
There was also a Jonathan Smith Dewhirst b.Apr-Jun 1862 Bradford m.Apr-Jun 1884 Bradford to either Elizabeth Benson or Fanny Kellett or Jane Priestley

I understand that JJG was married three times:
1. Grace Page m.24 Jul 1909 - did he have any children to this marriage?
2. Mabel Marion Brooks m.24 Jul 1939 - I understand he had no children to this marriage
3. Doreen Lillian Davidson aka Doris and Dori m.4 Feb 1943 Launceston, TAS and had three children:
a. John George b.c. 1944 Launceston, TAS d.c. 1997 Launceston, TAS
b. GNG and KG (twins)

I have become interested in this line helping a possible descendant.
His connection is through Hugh Reginald Hughes b.24 May 1909 Wirral, Cheshire. He is possibly the son of Hugh O. Hughes b.c.1876 and died June Q 1952
