[robin66]

Hello Gary, we have a match, James b1853 d 1915 had several siblings Mary Emma Mathew Charlotte Sarah about half of them born in sorrel Tasmania,
 
Our connection is William Yaxley 1684 father of Thomas 1716 father of William 1748 father of Thomas 1786 , William yaxley 1684 is in my derect line, hope that makes sense! The Yaxleys all came from the Walsingham area and moved about to find work, I live about 3 miles from there, Do you live in Tasmania?

Hi Robin,
Yes I do live in Tassie.
Thomas (b 1791) is as far back as I have been able to go.
I have plenty of info on the family once in Tasmania.

From memory he is from Victoria

My wife is descended from the Syderstone Yaxleys - came to Tasmania as part of an immigration scheme based in Launceston, many of them methodists and nearly all poor labouring families.

I am completing a couple of chapters on the Yaxleys for the ubiquitous family history book.

Happy to share my research with you.

Hi Rohan,
Will send you some information that I have regarding the Yaxleys.
I also have some info in the Launceston Immigration Society somewhere that I could send as well
