Charles & Catherine WICHELLOW/WICHELOW, South Australia

[Had]

Hi Pete, I have some information on Elisa/Alice.  How exactly are you related to Charles Hale (who is my 2nd great grandfather? Perhaps you can private message me and we can exchange information.
Cheers - Heather

Hi Heather, I'm a descendant from William HALE (1844-1916), brother of your Charles. They both arrived in South Australia on the ship Ocean Chief, and both worked at Hummocks Station. William left SA for the Victorian goldfields, before settling in Sale, Victoria.

I'd be happy to private message with you..., but as I'm new here, I haven't earned that privilege yet (3 posts, I think?).

Welcome to Rootschat, PeteMacca.  I think you have made enough posts now!

Just out of interest, I have been helping a friend with her HALE family who were originally from Redbourn/Sudbury/St Albans area, .  Her family includes a William Henry HALE 1856-1930 and a Charles HALE (1846-?).  Her William certainly emigrated to South Australia but I'm unsure as to when.

The dates do not fit your family but i wonder if they are related.

Hi Judith,  I'm away from my computer at the moment, but I don't that they're a match.

There's a website called Hale-Genealogy that has some basic info on the Hales who came out to OZ. It might give you a lead...

Good luck, Pete

Having looked at the on-line tree which suggests that your HALE family was from Hampshire I would agree that the families are not related.
