FH Documents and Artefacts / Yankalilla South Australia Book 1836 to 1986
« on: Saturday 19 December 09 06:51 GMT (UK)  »

Some one, some where, I can't find their post,was interested in a book called, "To Find The Way, Yankalilla and District 1836 to 1986". ISBN 0 646 06256 5
I purchased a copy today, 19th Dec 2009, at Jelf's Newsagency, Normanville, South Australia. $A 40. They have a number of copies in stock.
It is an excellent read and has lots of information about local families.
Our family connection was Aaron Ryles, drowned 1869. Normanville.

Hope this helps some one,
Barry

Can anyone assist me with ancestry of John Veitch, b 1739 Peebles. He  was married to Janet Crawford b 1742  Peebles.

Johns' father was also called John who was born 1715, Peebles, i have no details of his wife. They had at least three children; John junior above, Janet b 1736, Joan b 1740. All born Peebles.

We have no death details of either of the two Johns above or their wives.

Our family connection is through Robert CC Veitch b 1769, son of John junior. and then to South Australia via his son Robert b 1810.

The initials Robert C.C. is also a mystery!

We have quite a lot of details of the South Aust Veitch's around Pt Pirie.
