Edward's dc 1910/002301: Born: Keswick Cumberland. Name and occupation of father: William Dixon farmer. Name and maiden surname of mother: Mary Thwaites. Which leads to the question, how would Edward's children have known this information—family stories, documents? Do we know anything...

Edward's second surviving child and eldest son is Edward Vernon Thwaites Dixon. Good enough? cheers Bundy2

You guys are amazing, thanks for the offer. You've found young Edward Dixon, on the same ship as the Menzies clan, October 1853, and also his 1850s census particulars...Crosthwaite. And his sister Sarah, who comes out later and who also marries a Menzies. If there's any way of establishing...

Hi, Many thanks—was focussed on getting the marriage certificate, for English locations. That other thread ties things up nicely, Thanks again. The clans took a joint decision to emigrate: whether it was gold, or just commerce, who knows, but they all ship out in October 1853, the Vernons on...

Hello again: I've found a verifiable relationship between Dixons and Vernons in New South Wales, details below. Haven't yet spent $$ on verifying:rolleyes:: meanwhile— can we find a family of Vernons emigrating, 1844-1846 ? (See also the inconclusive thread where the possibility of a...

Thanks: two more Vernons to look for, this end... Cheers, Bundy2

Hello Colleagues: This enquiry has to do with Harry Vernon Dixon, a son of Edward Dixon who married Margaret Menzies, in Paterson NSW in 1859. If I've interpreted this thread correctly: Menzies - dixon - vernon the Vernon name comes from the Menzies family: Margaret Menzies' mother was...

Yep this is Ida. There's a Goulburn connection: should've checked it out it earlier, but I still would've wondered about Lynch. Ida's father is a stock'n'station agent in Goulburn. Harry's father, Edward, gives "merchant" and "Goulburn" on the marriage certificate. And Harr'ys four eldest...

Gibbo, and Steve, hi, Thanks again to you both for the detective work, it will come in handy. I had just looked at the bare bones of the genealogies, hadn't fleshed any of this out. Great. Agree, Lynch more likely to be a coincidence—if there is a connection, it isway back in the old country...

We're a long way from travel and migration, but here's nailing down a loose end: Turns out—after an hour's squinting in Land and Property Information—when Edward retires to Drummoyne in 1888, he doesn't buy: he rents. :rolleyes: ...assumptions...assumptions! So: in March 1887, Ed nominates...

Gibbo, and Steve, Many thanks for all this. Will absorb over the weekend. Paddies a surprise. Cheers! Bundy2

Hi, This trail starts in Sydney, and points to Scotland in the early 1800's. Sydney, 1908: Ida Maude Dixon, née Sands, buys into a new subdivision in Hunters Hill, with a mortgage from Elizabeth Ann Lynch, widow. (Ida's husband, Harry Vernon Dixon, buys the adjoining blocks the following...

Apologies for the total brainsnap regarding ED@ Greta's marriage. Too embarrassing even for a smilie. Yes, that's clear. But: there's still the question raised in my previous post of the possible third ED: a storekeeper from Singleton, who apparently goes broke in March 1887, owing money to...

"Where is this marriage of Edward DIXON to a Sarah DIXON?" I haven't established the marriage, just the fact that they were married, see previous post: SMH Saturday 7 April 1917 p 10 Family Notices: DIXON.-April 5. 1917, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. H. H. Connelly, 72 Alt-street...

It's not proof but it fits Good enough for me! Let me know if you want references on this Edward Dixon's doings. We're saying there are three Edward Dixons. This distinguishes two of 'em. I still have a problem with the ED I'm interested in. He's the one who ships out with, and later...

Hello, again: to stir the waters, re Sarah: another Edward Dixon, based at Greta, 20-odd miles from Singleton—mine manager, sometime gold tenement speculator and storeowner—this Edward marries a Sarah Dixon: SMH Saturday 7 April 1917 p 10 Family Notices: DIXON.-April 5. 1917, at the residence...

Yes. The Dixon bit. redf) Thanks !!! Paterson, where Ed and Margaret married, had one of the oldest Scots churches in the colony: 1834. And they were married according to the rites of the Church of Scotland. But not in the church: in the family home. She was given away by her brother. Quiet...

bit more on Edward: death cert specifies as well as place of birth-- "Keswick Cumberland England" --how long in colonies or states of Australasia: 57 years. That would make his arrival around 1853... plenty of time to go travelling in new country. I say "around", because the death...

Harry V went on to become ceo of CSR and died in not altogether clear circumstances in August 1930. Drummoyne seems to be a Dixon/Menzies colony... at turn of century... Edward dies at Moss Vale, apoplexy, no inquest needed: death certificate gives father William, farmer, mother Mary Thwaites...

Many thanks sick as a dog this end... are we saying 2 Dixon siblings, Edward and Sarah, married two Menzies siblings ? cheers Bundy
