Hello Cando ... Nice to meet you!

Thank you for posting the link to April Betty's original post regarding the NSW Bannisters. I found it from the Google search engine and had only the print preview version. I had to join the site to reply but then couldn't find the original posting.

I hope April Betty sees my posting ... the information came from Tim Soane's site http://family.soane.net/descendancy.php?pid=P3492171553&box_width=100&chart_style=1&generations=15&show_full=1 which lists this particular Bannister descendancy right back to William Bannister (1735-1768).

I believe this particular Family Tree was compiled by Margaret Elisabeth Callaghan in Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.  She is a member of Ancestry.com. Thank you Margaret, your research has been extremely valuable!

My interest in the NSW Bannisters is more of a personal nature in that, like my great-grandfather, Henry Bannister, they left their ancestral home of Headington/Beckley/Oxford and moved further afield. I just wanted to know what became of them, how they lived their lives in the "New World" and perhaps link up with some of their descendants. I am on Facebook....

The parents of James and Henry above were:
Thomas Bannister (1803) + Jane Young (1811-1881)

The parents of Thomas Bannister (+ Jane Young) were:

I am interested in finding the descendants of William Bannister + Eliza Charles .... New South Wales
and more information on William Bannister + Ann Brazier ...... preferably also going back in the tree earlier than 1735.

 
Many thanks.
