Hi, I too am related to Sarah Annie Hughes. Her daughter Thelma May Quince was my grandmother and she was born in Brandon, North Queensland. The family moved soon after to Brisbane. If you look Sarah Annie up on Ancestry and view the West Stevens family tree there is further information. My dad Ron West had previously wrongly labeled some pics which I have now updated with the correct names - I think these are the ones you have viewed. I also have had difficulty finding marriage records of Sarah Annie Hughes and Charles Henry, so am still searching. If you want specific info (including details of the shark attack involving John William Henry Quince) drop me a line and I will be happy to oblige. Thanks. Vicki

Hi I am related to Mary McKinnon and John Ewing through their daughter Jane who is my 2nd GGrandmother. My grandmother was Thelma Quince, whose father was John William Henry Quince whose parents were Charles Henry Quince and Jane Ewing. I have an original photo in my possession and always wondered who the people were. On stumbling across a Brisbane Courier newspaper archive with same photo on Trove, from 12 July 1912 and titled 'Four Generations', I was delighted to discover their names. As per attached pic they are (in age order) Mary Ewing (McKinnon), her daughter Jane Quince (Ewing), granddaughter Lillian Gillott (Quince) and great-grandson Cedric Gillott.

As per a post with pic of James Alexander Ewing's family, James' sister Catherine's married name was Newbigging which should explain the girl cousin's connection.

Hope this is helpful
