Hi Jenny Lynn,
I'm Wendy. Father is Norman, grandfather Harry (Henry), G-grandfather James Mills married to Jessie nee Shovelton.
James father, John Mills b 1820 married Elizabeth Chapple b 1825 (nee Woods).
Elizabeth married Charles Chapple in Somerset UK, had son George, then came out to OZ. She had Sarah in 1855 (+4 deceased kids prior). Charles drowned in 1855 then she married John Mills also in 1855 and went on to have;
Jane 1856, Matthew 1857 (your partners relative), James 1858 (my GG), John 1859, Eizabeth 1861 (dec), Elizabeth Maria 1864, and Elijah 1865 (dec).
Matthew married Maria Hunter Mckenzie.
John Mills died in Avenel in 1867 at 52 yrs still married to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth then married John Holmes in 1869. He died in 1883, then she married Edward Charles Taylure in 1890. She died in 1904 aged 88
John Mills (a tailor) born London 1815 came to Oz in 1852-4, then married Elizabeth in 1855 in Avenel.
His father another John Mills (? b 1786) also a tailor, and mother nee Sarah Mellon (b 1801) lived in Pembrokeshire?
My aunt, a Mills by marriage, has done all this work and I haven't gone any further except for my own fathers side. My grandfather (Harry or Henry), was 1 of 13 kids to James b1858, and Jessie Mills b1866, (John and Elizabeths 3rd child, 2nd son). Jessies father came out from England on the ship 'Great Britain' in 1862 with his widowed mother, married in Melbourne and had 10 kids - but a different family to the one you are looking for.
I have recently driven up from Melb. with my father (90yrs) and sister to the areas from which the Mills family came. i.e. Avenel, Katamatite, Bunganail etc. James Mills owned properties up that way and a couple of cousins up there are still alive. There is a story that the Kelly gang did rob a couple of uncles of their lunches one fine day and also that James owned a share in a gold mine for a short time. Fat lot of good that did him. They were a poor family of farmers, raising 13 kids in 2 separate houses on the 'Boozey' creek.
I hope that is of some help with your research. REGARDS WENDY
