Aussie, USA and Canadian cousins.

I have been researching and found out that several of my direct ancestors first cousins emigrated abroad as well as direct ancestor siblings and 1 direct ancestor himself.

I found my 3xgreat grandmothers first cousin William Luke Boniface emigrated aged 63 to Canada in 1907 and settled in York, Ontario. He had a sister who emigrated to Melbourne, Australia.

And my 4xgreat grandmother Maria Butler later Brain of Wootton, Oxfordshire had a few first cousins, a few of her mothers brothers children emigrated to Queensland in Australia.

Are you going to make contact with them?

 

[benny1982]

Hi Jay

I may see if I can contact any descendants but the original immigrants are brown bread as they used to say :2fun:.

I just found my 6xgreat uncle Stannard Plumb arriving in Sydney, Australia on the 2nd January 1855 as a crew member. He was a mariner and seaman.

I dont know when he died yet but is back in England in 1861 at the time of the census and I cannot find him in the 1851 census so he may have been abroad then. FMP has Merchant Navy seaman records.

James Hull, the first cousin of my 4xgreat gran was born and bred in Wooton, Oxfordshire. He was born in 1829 son of Thomas Hull (brother of my 5xgreat gran Mary Hull later Butler) and married in 1850 to Isabella Egglestone and they arrived in Melbourne, Australia in December 1852 on the Ship Bombay. They settled in Melbourne and James Hull died in 1911 after 58 years in Australia.

They had several children, the first Australian born child was Catherine Sarah Hull born in Brighton who died in 1854 as a baby. They had many that lived and had children so I will have distant cousins over there.

Hi Gibbo.

Thanks. It does look like my James Hull. The death notice looks like it says colonist for 80 years which is wrong unless it says 50 but it looks like an 8.
