Thank you! A bit sorry that I am not directly related to the Bassanos- they sound amazing, but really appreciate the extra pieces to the jigsaw puzzle.

My seventh great grandmother was Bridget Bassano. I have found a copy of her marriage Certificate to Edward Kynaston dated 27 June 1672 at St Martin in the Fields, London. Also the birth of her daughter, Bridget Kynaston 24th July 1673 at Walthamstowe, Essex. I would love to know if she is related to these Italian musicians and if so how.

Sussex / Re: Lost family of Hilton's

I have looked into it further. Yes, Robert is Barbara and Hannah (snr)'s brother. They are all the children of Richard Hilton and Barbara Wenham (Born 1778 in Hellingly, Sussex, England) married 4 Dec 1803 in Seaford, Sussex, England. Barbara Hutton nee Hilton was born in Seaford in 1804 while Hannah was born in Litlington, Sussex (not Brighton). Hannah jnr is Hannah snr's niece. I am descended from Barbara Hutton nee Hilton through her son David John Hutton.

Sussex / Re: Lost family of Hilton's

I am really interested in all these Hiltons.

I have a Hannah Hilton who was born approx 1816 in Brighton, Sussex - obviously not the same Hannah as the one born in 1852, however, she lived in Aldinga in South Australia where the younger Hannah went. Aldinga is also called "White's Valley" or "White's Gully" after Hannah's husband - Samuel White. Samuel White was very successful at setting up farms and a milling business there and even expanded into shipping.

I was really wondering if the reason why the other Hannah wound up in Aldinga was because she had relatives there who just about built the place. Hannah came to Australia with her sister Barbara and her sister's three children. However, there was also a William Hilton on the same ship and that has been suggested may have been another relative. He came from Litlington, Sussex just like Robert! These people are looking suspiciously related. Samuel and Hannah also moved to New Zealand in 1868. So Susannah and George Kidd are following six years later. It would be interesting if they went to Wanganui. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/White-63167
