Charles Hanson Family Tree

Adding to my post re Norah Valentine DONNELLY/PICKING

I see a Norah Valentine BURTON on electoral rolls in Rockhampton but when I look harder they go up to 1980 and Norah Valentine DONNELLY/PICKING died in 1965.     Sorry!

On Lillian Mary Hanson’s marriage certificate in 1926 her age is 21 years old . On her death certificate in 1977 her age is listed at 72 years old . Her birthday was always celebrated on the 12th December . 1905 seems to be the correct year . My father born in 1927 was 50 when his mother passed away .

Hi

I took a look in the Swedish Church Books and found Charles and August. Their parents' names were Hans Jacob Erlandsson and Anna Sofia Larsdotter.

Gustaf Hansson (Charles Hanson) - Birth - 19 Nov 1858 - Skredsvik Parish:

August Lambert Hansson - Birth - 21 Jan 1865 - Herrestads Parish:

Gustaf and August in 1880 Examination Book:

They are recorded as being in Australia in 1887. It looks as though Gustaf changed his name, probably because he jumped ship.

Thanks Ian for your information on the Hanson Brothers . Would you believe I actually found the house in Brisbane that Lambert Hanson lived worth his wife Blanche . He died in 1936 . Lambert is the eldest son of Charles Hanson . It appears Charles Hanson is my Great Grandfather  .  Matt James

You're welcome Matt.
If you want help in Sweden I can do that for you. You should be able to go back a couple more generations if the books allow it that is.

G’day helpers , I’m just posting an update on my request  for information on the Hanson Family . I along with 2 cousins have done DNA tests & we have found we have NO dna match to another member of the HANSON family who is a direct descendant of Charles & Annie HANSON née FORD . That rules Lilian Mary Elizabeth b. 1905 being a biological daughter of both Charles & Annie or any of their elder children .
We also have had NO match with the names DONNELLY  PICKING etc which rules out Mary Elizabeth DONNELLY b. 1905 daughter of Norah Valentine DONNELLY .
We ALL have close dna matches with the GREENTREE CALLOW CAVANOUGH COWAN COHEN GOSPER HOLMES LANE TURNBULL MARSDEN families from the Tamworth & Windsor area of NSW . While we are waiting on a closer match we do have two 3rd cousins & over eighty 4-6th cousins linking to this family which is a pretty positive result . With the help of the dna we are putting together a family tree & have been helped by other dna matches we have contacted from this GREENTREE line .
Maybe one day someone reading this will be able to link Lilian Mary Elizabeth to the GREENTREE family , we hope so . Thanks for all your help along the way , Matt

This is so fascinating.  You mentioned a Byrne name over the fence.....is this still a possibility? Or does it rely on there being a Hanson link back? 

So may have been an informal adoption.  Perhaps through a church connection or friend of a friend. 

Keep ahold of the story from your father as often these family stories have some truth in them but have just got a bit mixed up as they have gone down the generations, 

I wonder who lived as a neighnour on the other side? 

Do any of the names that you are DNA matched to have locations that ar the same as the ones you know of.
