thanks Sue
hmmm, I wonder where the 'Cullen' name came from
maybe Flora/ence SHAWs mother's maiden name

just when you think you're getting somewhere
there always seems to be something else to look for!!

No. No luck on either side there

Not sure I am doing this correctly but William Cullen Ley is a relation and Esther was his wife, they divorced many years and and Esther went to live in the Geelong Area. The other names are family names. I have not heard of June Baxter -Thompson.

Hi finnbaker
I guess you are looking at this from the other angle then - I was researching June Baxter-Thompson who is the great grand-daughter of Mary HILL, the sister of my gg grandmother Anne HILL (this was all to do with trying to find the parents of Anne, Mary and Julia HILL who emigrated from County Clare  to Tasmania in the 1850's)
I found that June was buried in the same plot as Esther
then it was odd but probably coincidental that Esther's (ex) husband had the middle name CULLEN, as Anne HILL married Charles CULLEN, an ex-convict from Nottingham UK

I suspect that June and Esther became friends when they were living near Geelong??
do you happen to know where the Cullen in William LEY's name originated?

cheers
Lou

[finnbaker]

Dear Lou, I believe the Cullen was the maiden name of William Ley senior's mother. There are three William Leys' in our family. The first who died in 1896? printer. His son, and his grandson who was at one time married to Esther.

William Henry LEY, died?1896,  father of William Johnson LEY??

thanks
