I have re adjusted my Richard's .  I have quite a bit of detail of James Renwick Tench, he became a naturalised American 1925 and settled in Oregon. After living in Canada before that, as you know.

If there things you dont have let me know i may have them.

I think i have found the house that William R and my nan Isobel lived in, in Garston.  looks like it stil exists, I am going to make a trip up to see if i can find it

Hello Sue
That's a great idea.  Will you take some photographs?

Interestingly, the Multonah (not sure of the spelling) part of Oregon where James Renwick TENCH lived is the same place that William Reveley TENCH's brother, John and his wife, Amanda lived.  I wonder if that was done purposely.

Another thing that I have noticed is that most of the diverging ways of William's sons and daughters seem to happen around 1906-1908.

Do you know anything about Alfred Firth TENCH or Margaret TENCH?

I have seen a property that it could be on google earth, in Garston, but i would like to see it for myself, i will take pics. 

The family does seem to have dispersed around about the same time.

The only info i know about Alfred is that he was a Butcher early on.
I found this
Name    Mr A F Tinch
Birth Date    abt 1887
Age    21
Port of Departure    Delagoa Bay, Mozambique
Arrival Date    23 Jul 1908
Port of Arrival    Southampton, England
Ports of Voyage    Cape Town
Ship Name    Dunluce Castle
Shipping Line    Union-Castle Mail Steamship Company Ltd
Official Number    118490

but then later

Name    A Tench
Estimated Birth Year    abt 1889
Age    32
Port of Departure    Brisbane
Port of Arrival    Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date    18 Aug 1921
Vessel Name    Bardic
Origin Location    Capetown Africa

on the list it shows him as a fireman, if it is him of course, The birth dates are different so they could both be wrong, i am more confident with the first one.

Do you mean William Revelly Tench's Margaret?

[Mr. Tibbs]

Thank you, Sue.
That gives me something to go on.  I hadn't found anything at all.  I wasn't clear about which Margare. It was William's daughter, Margaret; that's what I should have said.  I've found Elizabeth's marriage and Kate's emigration but no sign of Margaret.

Good luck with the house.

Hi Pat

I posted a request for help finding William R Tench's grave on Roots, I have had a reply, stating that he died of sunstoke, and they have given me a reference and advised that i looked at the national archives Afria and Asia section.  I have emailed nationa archives to see if they can help.  I will let you know if they are able to help/what they find.
