Charles and his wife Harriet Marsh Renwick arrived in Melbourne with their two sons George Renwick and James Charles in 1850. Charles went about establishing a grocers business in Lonsdale St, Melbourne. The business either failed or Charles left for the "diggings" the later probably more plausible as thousands flocked to the Victorian gold sites at this time.
Harriet died at Beechworth Hosp. Vic in 1859. Charles died at Adelong NSW in 1863. Son George born Jersey 1843 died at Liverpool NSW in 1918, no issue.
James Charles born at sea 1849 married Sarah Harvey at Beechworth Vic in 1892. James Charles died 1895 in Fitzroy Vic. They had two sons James Thomas 1893 -1942, no issue and George Henry 1894-1954, George is my paternal grandfather.
I do have further information which could go on for pages with regard to Charles Hastings and his siblings but I am only new to this forum and haven"t yet worked out how to best utilise it.
Looking at information that I do have Henrietta had maintained ties with the Impey family throughout her life.
To the best of my knowledge the Treeve family has no connections within today's Jersey.
A few years back I corresponded for a time with a distant cousin who also authored the Knights of Barrells. He was most generous with regard to sharing info on the Knight family. You more than likely are acquainted with him too.
Over the years with the purchase of new computers and changing email addresses I have lost contact with this chap. So I am very happy to be in contact with you.
