That's good news Harley.   

Hmmm  ... mother's name Clara "Harris" (and not "Hickman")     But I'm sure you'll sort it all out.

Good luck with your continued searching.

Hi Jenni and all Mills family researchers

I've found you again on this post regarding Clara Charlton.

I am excited to have found some information about the Mills family of Christchurch in New Zealand.

I am descendant from Edward James & Clara - and thier son John Leonard Mills in NSW Australia. I would love to hear any further information that anyone has about this line. I really have very little information about the Mills family and any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jac

Hi descendants of John Leonard mills.....
I'm new at this...
He seems to have been quite the ladies man...was charged with wife and child desertion by 3 women I know of so far.
Anyway....his son James Edward mills was my grandfather....and he told the story that we were of Maori descent.
Can anyone shed light on that for me please!!!!

Hi Leona,

Thats news to me! Are you able to give me further information about this? And are there any records of this that I can find? Are you located in Aus or elsewhere?

John leonards son Frank is my grandfather.

Your grandfather was called Eddie is that right? Do you have any pictures or any more info about any of the other siblings?

 I have also heard the same story about Maori descent but I have been unable to find any evidence of this.

Do you have anything at all? Or was this just passed on to you verbally?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks
Jac
