Apparently my grt-grt-grandfather (John French) - without any parents whatsoever - appeared on earth abt. 1819 in Loose or East Farleigh Kent, just to marry and produce 6 children, whilst my grt-grandfather William Austin could have been born in Battle or Brenchley, the search for him not helped by the fact that he sometimes spelt Austin with an 'i' sometimes with an 'e' and as for the Tompsetts and the Dunmalls - let's not even go there!

Mine haven't been found!  Edward Martin and Eleanor Bentley are still missing - wonder if I'll find them this side of death!  To them I have added two Joshua Bentleys, father and son, neither of whom appear to have died!  (Definitely some alien abduction going on in my family!)

Of my great-grandfather's family, he came out to South Australia, one brother went to New Zealand, another to Wales, his sister to Scotland via Wales, and the eldest brother stayed put; all in one generation!
The only missing one in this lot was another brother, Henry Hogard Pine, b.1839, Beaminster Dorset. Listed with parents & family in 1851 census, and then does the great disappearing act after that.

Have a disappearing relative who I haven't even started looking for- the reason will become obvious in a minute.
Known to the family in Ireland as 'Timaru' (after the place he lived in New Zealand) he was probably born in Ireland. Either his father's or mother's surname was probably Hunter and his mother's Christian name might have started with an E. (an old photograph of a woman with 'E.Hunter' taken in Timaru is in Hunter home place- Gilmores have the same photograph so possibly one of the parents was a Gilmore). He came [back?] to Ireland with the intention of staying but then decided to go back to N.Z. Died [probably unmarried?] and left money to Minnie Hunter in Ireland which was used to buy the family's first wireless.
So basically I have no name, place of birth, parents, dates, etc.

Wow Aghadowey! Thats got to be the most difficult one yet. You deserve a prize if you sort that one out!! 

[aghadowey]

Haven't even tried to sort 'Timaru' out yet. All I have is a photograph of a woman who might be his mother and a few clues but no name to search. Wish Aunt Minnie was still here- she was the one who told her nephew about him stying with the family in Ireland.
