Hi David,
Happy New Year to you and your family too!
My grandmother's grandmother, following my female line, takes me to Susannah Nunley, daughter of John Nunley and Mary Ann Britten. Susannah married John Mumford and was known as Susan. After Susan's death in 1877, her youngest daughter Deborah sailed to New Zealand to become domestic help to a widowed man, Christopher Hanham. They married in March 1878 making Deborah stepmother to three young children at age 20. Together they had 14 children, my grandmother Annie being the 8th child. Annie married Arthur John Skelton and my mother Mavis was their 7th child. Mum married Maurie Oates. Rosemary helped me with much of the Nunley history which confirmed the oral history I knew.
Kind Regards,
Fran
