Hi Fred,
once I get the records I will see if they are in there, I have the 1694 Census record for November at Temple and there are no West's in it.
The funny thing about the Temple burial ground is, for 4 hundred years there are very little people buried there, when we look at the past populations of the Village and area there were a lot of people kicking about.
On a rough count I can only find around 600 names and that includes around 12 from 1689 to the 1700's, then I ask myelf where are they all.
There were burial grounds at Clerkington and Mount Lothian both are no longer there, there is one at Carrington and another just down from it at Whitehill Aisle.
My own investigations think that this burial ground is on top of another, either that or the burials were deeper than normal, say 8 to 10 feet deep, who knows perhaps one day we will know.
Could they have ben English ?, Horne itself sounds like an English name, as Sandra said Charles Hitchener brought a lot of workers up with him, with William being a gunpowder maker it sounds much like he came up from the South.
I wonder why two young ladies would travel to Australia, was it a promise of better work with assisted passage, anyway, it seems that they must have done well, and you must be proud of them for taking the big leap.
Best.
Archie.
