Scotland / HUSBAND family tree
« on: Sunday 10 October 10 00:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I am searching for any information on the surname of Husband:
My many times GGGF was John Husband (not sure of dates) and we believe he married Jannet Black.  They had a son John Husband b.1708) in Fife Scotland(?).  He married Ann Hay(B. June 1714). Had a son - (and possibly other children) William who married Elizabeth Bisset. William and Elizabeth had a son - Robert Husband (B. 1783 Fife Scotland, D.1855) and I think also had Catherine (B. 1778 and John B.1780 - but not 100% sure). Robert had a son - Blair Henderson Husband (B.1833 Scotland). Blair had a son - Robert Alexander Husband (B. 1869 in either Fife or Ireland) and D. 1944 in Homebush Sydney Australia). Robert Alexander had three sons (Kenneth Ernest lane husband who is my grandfather (B. 1907 in Petersham Sydney Australia and d. 1988), Jeppy and Arthur) and four daughters- Mimmy, Ira, Gertrude and Illma. Kenneth Ernest Lane Husband had my Dad Kenneth William who then had me and my brother Brett.

It appears that Blair came to Australia to establish a canning works for a company he worked for.   His wife followed him and they settled in McLean NSW Australia. 

I would like to find out if the family tree extends further back.  And am curious as to why - when the surname is so obviously of English origins - the family came from Fife Scotland - as Husband is not of Scottish clan orgins.   I must confess my ignorance here n regards to the history - daresay there is a reason? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Emma
