Hello Effie Ann

I am descended from Ann Berry daughter of James Berry and Catherine Wilson. So we are most likely related. I noticed that you are in Australia. On another line I am related to Peter Smith Dawson of Adelaide who was a noted bass baritone singer in the early 20th century. Also a great great granducle Hugh Fraser died aboard the L.N.S. "Ellamany" in Melbourne in 1888 and i am desperate for more details. If you can help i would be happy to reciprocate with my iformation.

Apparently the Berry's were originally Huegenots from Cherbourg, France.

Kindest Regards

Dear Chiad,

I came across your posts in the course of browsing and noticed your interest in the family of Robert Armit the husband of your great great grandaunt. I am related to Robert as his grandfather Spence Oliphant was my 6 x great granduncle. I would be glad to hear from you. I also noticed that you got the matriculation records for Spence Oliphant and his son in law John Watson Armit and wondered if you could either tell me how you got them or whether I could have a copy? I look forward to hearing from you one way or another.

Best Wishes

Simon
