James McEwan & Ann Small - Ireland

[Antony M]

Hello. I have info on James & Ann. I am their GG Grandson. They settled in Muntham, near Casterton Victoria in the late 1850s and worked for the Henty Brothers. I have the names of their children and other decendants. This is my first use of this site so please reply if you would like more info and I will respond.

    Oops, typo in previous post. Names not Manes!

Since my last post, I've done more research on this side of the family and have much more information than I did a couple of years ago.  Antony, I'm their great-great-grandchild too.  Which child are you descended from?

Hello Jess, James and Annes' first child William (born 1856 or 1857)  was my Great Grandfather.
William McEwans fourth child was William Anthony McEwan born 1896.
William Anthonys third child was Frank William born 1923.
Then there was me!

Have you read the inquest for James' death?  From memory, William was with him at the time of the accident.  Also, this photo of William and his children delivering the bread - http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/769236/negative-casterton-victoria-1927

Yes I have read the inquest and William was with him. The photo is great thanks.
