Hi William

Thanks for your reply.  I don't have great deal of photos myself but with a little time can certainly aquire some.
I live in Brisbane, and also one of James Alexander II sons also lives in Brisbane.   Can you please tell me your connection to our great great great grandfather James Ferguson Blackwood.  I am more than happy to provide you some contact details.

Hi William

Just found this site.
James Ferguson Blackwood is also my great-great-great grandfather. 

My great grandparents are James Alexander and his wife Mary (nee Dudly).  They went on to have four children of their own in addition to James's first two children to his wife Elsie. 

James and Elsie's children
James Alexander Blackwood (1907 - 1973) married Violet (died 1973)
William David Vincent Blackwood (1909 - 1977)

James and Mary's children
Marcus Alexander Blackwood (1912 - 1988)  no children
Mona Emily Blackwood (1914 - 1965) married Arthur Stewart  7 children
Alfred Herbert (Herb) Blackwood (1917 - 1971) married Ruth Gutsell     4 children
Edna Mary Blackwood (1920 - 1997) never married.   


Herb and Ruth Blackwood are my grandparents with Ruth still living in Mosgiel.

The Blackwoods settled in Otago/Southland area.   James Alexander (I) was for a time a blacksmith in Balclutha (South Otago) and Elsie his first wife is buried at the old cemetery in Balclutha.  They then moved to Dunedin where the family settled. 

Hope that this provides some additional family connections for you.
