Thank you, all of that looks promising and hopefully someone can find this post and be reunited with the plate!

Australia / Peck Family 1850 Australia
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 07:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I am not related to Pecks, but in my parents' belongings I have found a family reunion plate for the Peck family 1850-1987. I wonder if those dates ring any bells for people with that surname.
They may have been wheat farmers and wine growers because the outer edge of the plate is illustrated with these items. They might also have been settlers in South Australia, as the plate was made by the 'Personalized Porcelain Co.' 1 Fourth Avenue, Klemzig, South Australia, later known as Studio Potters, but no longer there. My parents used to holiday quite a lot in South Australia and may have picked it up on one of those trips.
The family may have originally come from Germany as the crudely designed family crest has the word 'Saxony' underneath the red cross, and the surname Peck at the top.
The photo makes the plate look oval shaped, but it is circular.
If you have a connection to this plate, please let me know.

Cheshire / Re: Granelli in Macclesfield
« on: Saturday 09 March 19 01:05 GMT (UK) »
It's been quite a while since I visited. Somewhere in this thread or another about the Granelli family, the Macclesfield Granellis informed my contact that they believed my Granelli family were not related to them. However, after doing a DNA test at Ancestry.com and having had matches to people who are definitely related to those in Macclesfield, I can say that without a doubt my Granelli family and the Macclesfield Granellis are linked. 
I knew this had to be so, because my great aunt and couple of second cousins had visited them, and were greeted as family members, and this was as late as the fifties or sixties, so I am not sure where the knowledge of this connection had disappeared to. I hope someone here who has connection to them can let them know, and we can see if we can find the actual link.

Thank you Trish,
I knew where they were from, but from the census, not the marriage details. I will look it up. I had such fun researching this side branch, learning a lot about Bute and the farm 'Scarrel' which is visible on old maps. The Johnstons and Grahams were well established families on Bute, so I really enjoyed researching them!

Hi there,
It is a distant connection. I have found some loose links to Campbells in Bute, Glasgow, Ayr, Ireland, Caithness and Stirling. None of them are in my main tree branches, just some detours I tool along the way because I was curious.

awgoodall, I am sorry I did not reply to you sooner. I can only think that it was because last year in July my father was quite ill, and he passed away in the August so I was not in a good frame of mind for research.
I think I had previously been exchanging emails with your sister a few years back.
I only came across this post again because of a query one of my relatives had, and I began searching my old posts to find an answer. I wanted to say that I have also heard the story about the Count from my uncle and it was rather vague but he seemed to think we were related to the Count somehow. I would be very interested in hearing more about that from you.
I still have not been able to make a connection with the Macclesfield Granelli family, though my own Granelli relatives are certain they are related.
Again, I am sorry that I had not replied sooner,

Hi Gary and welcome to Rootschat,
It IS an old thread. It seems like I was researching this branch only yesterday, so I am astounded to see its been eight years!
I have quite a bit of information I can share with you about your Crombie family. We are distant cousins, as your third great grandfather and my second great grandmother were siblings.
Thomas married Mary Jane Gibson in Rathfriland, Ballygorry, Co. Down in 1870. I have found that they had eight children.
I am sending you a PM (private message) with my email address if you'd like to know more.
