Australia / Re: CORNHILL in New South Wales
« on: Thursday 04 October 12 07:18 BST (UK) »
Goodness, you must have been up early. I wasn't expecting a reply so soon!! Thank you so much for the information and any further information you have going back as far as you can would be most welcome. My mother was most reluctant to pass on any information re her ancestry as she felt her family had not achieved very much but, at the same time, I don't think she knew a lot. My brother thinks that our grandmother, Agnes Mildred, severed her ties with her family when she went to India with her husband, Daniel Mildred. Anyway, there were skeletons in the cupboard which were not talked about. I believe Agnes was brought up as Agnes Golder & I think there was some shame that her father, Joseph Cornhill, deserted the family and that her mother was never married to Lewis Golder.
As I said before, having a great grandfather come out to Australia a century before my brother and I (we came out separately but both in the sixties) was absolutely amazing for us. I will definitely follow the line down in Australia.

Hi - My brother and I are the great grandchildren of Joseph Cornhill. We live in Australia having come out here in the sixties. Also our cousin in the UK. We have been doing some research and come up with the same facts as yourself. We are the grandchildren of Agnes Golder - my mother was Kathleen, my cousin's mother was Daphne (both born in India as our grandfather, Daniel Mildred, was a soldier in India returning to UK around 1920). We are obviously related in some way - are you a descendant of one of Agnes's siblings? We never met any of the family as children. My brother and I had no idea that our great grandfather had come out here in the last century. We thought we were the first!! Would like to make contact. My cousin and I have only just registered with rootschat.
