Hi Duckweed.... 8)Ahhhaaa the plot thickens!!! Me thinks there is possibly some connection here. I was just reading up about Lumley of Tickhill castle and the Earls of Scarborough. Richard George- son of Frederick Lumley Savile of Tickhill Castle. I would imagine Frederick would have been employer to both Charles Kemp and George Teasdale in the early 1800s. Frederick would have been their vintage- born 1788 and died 1837..... Richard was born1813-1884 so same vintage as William Teasdale.
The Lumleys go way back to mid 1600s and the first Richard was the 1st earl of Scarborough.
These Lumleys also had links with Lumley Castle at Durham, so am wodnering if ther Teasdales originated there?
I found another interesting article citing one of the Lumley connections Charles Lumley Hill, the son of Lady Frances Charlotte Arabella who was the daughter of Frederick Lumley and grandaughter of the 4th Earl of scarborough ...(she married Colonel Charles Hill colonel of the Hussars( . This Charles Lumley Hill ( b 1840 died 1909 at Esk Qld) emigrated to Australia and resided in SA at Port Augusta and later Queensland. He was born at Tickhill Castle- another link or mere co-incidence??
He was a grazier cattle breeder.This Charles emigrated in 1863 and had some experience on a station in SA the moved to Queensland where he became the manager of Northampton Downs. He was also a politician.In 1882 he sold his properties and returned to England but a yera later returned to Australia and once agaiin one a seat in parliament ( Qld) . Later he continued his cattle breeding as a grazier.
Perhaps they had connections here in Australia- would be interesting to know what enticed Charles to come to Australia and who he knew here that came from Tickhill other than our William?
Will investigate further
Interestingly, Charles Kemp Teasdale- son of William and Sarah Jacques, was born at Mt Remarkable South Australia 1858 but died in Cloncurry Queensland 1940
