Hi all,
My great-grandfather's family have taken some effort to track down. Born in either Beaminster or Corscombe, they spread the length and breadth of the world after 1851. I have traced their movements (mostly), except one brother.
Henry Hogard Pine was born in Beaminster in 1839, the son of Luke and Frances. I have him in 1851 living with his family in Corscombe, and then that's it. Both parents had passed away by 1861, and the rest (bar one) had moved away. But where did Henry go? I have checked GRO records, census indexes, even whatever military or shipping records I find, but no go. It isn't easy searching from Australia either.
Can anyone help?
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)
Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
