Hi Kerrie - you should be able to see my public tree (It's called Tatchell Summons) on Ancestry - look for James Sproule 1809 - 1884. I have his brothers John and Hugh in the tree as well although there is unlikely o be much there that you do not already know.  I would love to hear about new info though. Have you seen Kate Tammemagi's Sproule website? - she's a researcher in Ireland with some great stuff - see http://sproulegenealogy.blogspot.ie/. Cheers, Jo

Just an interesting anecdote FYI. My husband's great grandfather James Sproule came to Australia from Grennan in 1854 with his father James and older brother George. James, George and their brother Wallace had lived with the Rev St George and his family for a few years after their mother (Ann Irvine) died and while their father James "was getting his act together" before migration. In recognition of the Reverend's kindness, James gave all of his 8 children the middle name "St George" and that has been carried on for many generations. My husband has it, as does son Sam and our grandchildren.  Great to be able to see a picture of him on this forum.

Thanks, Jo from Melbourne
