Frank Townshend (1863 - 1944) Edited newspaper at Walch, NSW. He married Maud Elizabeth Gates in 1893 and had issue:
Doris Burton Townshend (1894 - ????) married firstly Herbert Nelson and secondly to Harald Bowden and had issue.
Hazel Waters Townshend (1896 - ????) marries Walter Montague Townshend, her cousin. (SEE BELOW)
Phyllis Ethelbert Townshend married Cecil Rupert Moore and had issue.
Frank Langley Redvers Townshend married firstly to Jean Mellefort and had issue. Married secondly to Edna Spence.
Jill Adele Townshend married William James Sutton

I think that should be Laingley.

That's fine thanks gibbo. It's connected to Mellefont so not that far off a main line.

But I think we don't go further back but fill in some gaps between 1881 and 1893 marriage in Walcha.

My turn to cook again so I'll be back later.

 

[gibbo]

Frank was here in 1889

etc etc We wish the enterprising proprietor, Mr. Frank Townshend, every success with his new venture.

Stirfry?
We just had slap up tonight.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yeah, a very quick one. White rice instead of brown rice which takes 30 min to boil.


So Frank arrived 1881 - 1889.

 

[gibbo]

, later going to Capetown,where he joined the ~ staff of the 'Cape ArguB.' From there he went to New Zealand, doing newspaper work in Christchurch and Dunedin, then later in Sydney and Newcastle.

Dont know how we will go chasing his arrival. Capetown, New Zealand then Australia.

 

[DaveHam9]

3 Aug 1893 Walcha.

So arrival from NZ unassisted.

Can't see his arrival in Sydney or Victoria on PROV.
