Hi, I received your message today re my interest in Hoyte/Bonython. I too haven't used this site for many years so I'm unsure what my initial enquiry was...lol. For some reason I got an error message saying I couldn't send personal messages and was unable to reply to your email.
My main interest is in George Hoyte's brother John b. Oct 11 1811 (married Elizabeth Mitchell) and in particular his son Philip Mitchell Hoyte. I simply cannot find Philip or his wife Jane on any UK census in 1871 and then Philip left his wife and children in Cornwall in 1878 and came to Australia on board the Durham and never returned to Cornwall. Philips father and brothers appear to have done well for themselves, so I'm abit perplexed as to why Philip left. I noticed that many Bonython's and Langdons came to Australia (South Australia) and wondered if Philip followed them. Did any of your Bonython's arrive in Australia in the 1870's?
Philip had 3 children in Australia and I'm a descendant from this line.
Regards Jo
