Hi Sue;

Thanks so much for your response.  I have been stuck trying to find and family connections beyond James and you've given me some great leads with the name of his brother and father.  Thank you!

My paternal lineage is:

James Maskell / Mascall (m. Philadelphia Rose)
William Henry Maskell (m. Ruth Errey)
William Henry Maskell (m. Elsie Ruth Errey)
Norman William Maskell (m. Hazel Polley)
Allan Gilbert Maskell (m. Valma Bailey)

After arriving at the port of Geelong, James took up an allotment of farmland at Cobrico, Victoria, Australia and the property remains the family dairy farm.  Norman's eldest son Robert still lives on the property today although has retired from running the farm.  William Sr was keen on growing fruit and established an orchard with quite a few apple, mulberry and plum trees that remain today.

Hello!

I'm completing some research into my 3 X great-grandfather who is the same James Maskell discussed in this thread.

My research shows that he was born around 22 October 1814 at Heathfield, Sussex, but I'm struggling to find who his parents were or any history prior. Does anyone know of the history of James Maskell?

Would love any tips or help to find out a bit more.

Regards,

Tim Maskell
