Hi Alison,

I guess that makes you the great great grand-daughter of Peter Henderson and Caroline Le Blond. I am a great great great great grandson of Caroline's parents.

Regards,
Les

Hi all,

Re: Peter Edwin Henderson and Blond Jane Caroline LeBlon (tropicalj)
and: Peter Edwin Henderson m. Blond Leblon (sparrett)

In the interests of accuracy may I point out that Peter Edwin HENDERSON married Jeanne Louisa Caroline LE BLOND (not Blond Leblon!) who was known as Caroline. They married in Hamilton, Scotland 1848 and emigrated to Australia in 1857. Hope this is of interest.

Regards, Les McIntyre (distant descendant).

Hi Kate

In reply, I am descended from my great grand-father Jules Victor Le Blond, son of John Le Blond & Helen Robertson. I was born in Scotland and came out to New Zealand as a child.

Did you find out why John's father Victor was in jail during the 1871 census? According to the Hamilton Advertiser, Victor's infant son George died from rat poisoning. Victor was imprisoned for negligence before the baby died. And Victor's wife Jessie Norris died the next year. Could it not get any worse?

In an earlier post you mentioned the seven children of Victor Le Blond and Marie Melanie Galland. I have nine children listed, the latest being discovered last week on an LDS microfilm of original source material. Edouard Le Blond (French for Edward I presume) son of Nicolas Victor Le Blond and Marie Melanie Galland, appears in the St-Roch, Paris baptism records of 1823. I had not come across Edouard previously using an LDS net search.

Hope you find something of interest here.

Cheers,
Les.

Hi Kate

Re: your two great aunts. My great great grandparents are the same John Le Blond and Helen Robertson (note the space between the Le and Blond, very important!) John Le Blond was an artist and a couple of his paintings are at the Bothwell Museum. Five or so of his paintings spread among the family at Holytown and Arbroath. We sent a small picture in for cleaning and were told there was another picture hidden underneath that had not seen light of day for decades. I have a wee water colour of his that my Nana gave me. 

Isn't it a hoot that two brothers married two sisters?

Cheers,
Les.

Hi Lilygirl

Got your message but I am not permitted to reply until I have done three Rootschat posts.

Check out www.family.tree.freeuk.com/index.html and click on Browse The Library Of Evidence, scroll down to Biographies, select Peter Henderson. This is an excellent article about Peter Henderson and Caroline Le Blond that you should find interesting.

Cheers,
Les.

Hi Lilygirl

Re Jeanne Louisa Caroline Le Blond married Peter Edwin Henderson. Caroline was born 28th May 1825 in Paris, France. Married 3rd Sept 1848 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland. Arrived in Sydney 24th March 1857. Died 13th Aug 1882.

Caroline's father was Victor Nicolas Le Blond, Steward to the 10th Duke of Hamilton. Died 10th March 1871 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland.

Caroline's mother was Marie Melanie Galland. Melanie died 17th January 1871 also Hamilton.

There have been a couple of replies naming Caroline's mother as Metonia Galland which is INCORRECT. Although this is the name found on the Victoria BMD indexes, whoever transcribed the original registry data for the indexes did a sloppy job. The name on the original document is Melanie Galland, not Metonia.

Hope this is of interest.

Cheers,
Les
4x great grandson of Victor & Melanie
