Australia / Re: SUMMER HILL near Orange NSW

Re: Cantrill & Astill families Borenore, Orange district.
I don't know when this original post was placed but I just happened on it. My gt. gt. grandparents (Whitehead) came from Borenore & both your families are mentioned in a few documents that I have as they had adjoining properties. I'm sure that I have some photocopies of some school pics of some of the family (not very good). Please let me know if your interested & I will look them out.
Cheers,
Skipper

Rusty,
Thanks for your reply.Will wait & see if i get some on-line help in the up coming days & will keep in mind the Lat-Day-St's. I live on an island which makes it difficult so have pretty much  been relying on the internet..Very frustrating at times ::)
Cheers

Could someone tell me where  Irish female domestic servants were housed  when they arrived in Vic. during the 1850's prior to being indentured to a family? Are there any records ?

 Any suggestions  please...I'm  chasing Whitehead connections.
I have a william  born abt.1830 in Dublin was carpenter in Aust.
His father also Wm.  date & place of birth unknown was listed as an "editor" & "gentleman".
I haven't had any sucess with Dublin as a starting point & have looked  at UK possibilities as  there maybe Wesleyan Lay- Preacher connections & also looked in the news &  printing  industry but so far nothing jumps out.Interested to find how (if correct) Wm snr. became a "gentleman" ..by inheritance or work skills
 Any leads offered would be grateful.
Cheers,
Skipper   ;) :)

Hi! Rosalie & Prue,
All the Whiteheads listed @ Orange Cemetery with the exception of(as far as I know) Mary Elizabeth & John are all my relations.
Possible that John could even be related to William..depending on his age ..maybe a clue :-\
I've been able to work out that Rebecca arrived in 1853  & William 1856/7 according to their death certificates.
Just found a Rebecca Graham which fits the right age arriving on the Derry Castle 22/5/1853 into Melbourne from Liverpool.
So far unable to find a passanger list except through the online Vic Govt. William has been elusive as to port of entry so far....I'll keep on digging :) & thanx for your help.
I live on an island in Moreton Bay off Brisbane
Cheers Skipper

Any suggestions much appreciated:
I have a William Whitehead who married Ann Ryan with no dates or county.He was stated as a "gentleman" & also an "editor"
They had a son William born abt. 1830 who became a carpenter. So far have not come across any data.

Cheers ;)

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the info on Rebecca & family this is all correct as you see she married william whitehead in 1860. Have been unable to establish how either rebecca or william came to Aust (both in different years) or if they came on their own or had relatives in Aust.Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers
Skipper  :D
