Hello,
The plot thickens....
I am weighing in from New Zealand (well, we Ogles are actually Australian, 3rd gen). Now, it's possibly my info on Isaac from Ancestry, you are referring to. I spent days researching his brother ' Naughty Fred' as we call him. I am an absolute beginner though, so I am sure I went in circles.
Here's the irony, 'Naughty Fred' was my gg grandfather. Now, I know why the family didn't speak of our past. The irony of life it this, my father, an Ogle, rose to 2nd in charge of Westpac Bank here. Westpac was formed from the merger of The Bank of Wales and the Commercial Bank of Australia - two of the banks that his grandfather, 'naughty Fred' had so oft defrauded. There are some fabulous articles in Trove.
I lost track of Isaac after his release here in Australia. I too would live any info to read.
I know very little about Frederick, their father, was he dodgy?
Also, I may have a contact regarding Sarah and Eveline. I have a small window of time to play at the moment - I am in between university semesters. As this is the first time I have popped up on roots chat, I am unclear how it works - do I receive a notification I wonder if you contact me? Will have to wait and see if you boomerang back. Have a peek on my ancestry - not sure if I have us correct prior to Fred the wine-merchant.
cheers (slightly tongue-in-cheek), Di.
They had alias names as well.
