I have some information re George Haswell Williams and Margaret Williams (Harper).
The house he built in Fryerstown in 1859 is still standing and is lived in! The stonework is quite beautiful!
We found a book in the Chewton Historic Centre that details the house history.
It says ‘In 1859 George,an enterprising local miner and storekeeper who established a thriving brick building operation in Fryerstown bought a property and built the main dwelling near High Street.On the death of Margaret in 1910 it was sold’.
I can give more details if anyone is interested.
Also does anyone know when George was born? I had thought that because his death certificate said he died at 60 in 1892 it would be 1832, but on his son William Nathan’s birth certificate it would infer he was born in 1821.
I also have a photo of George Haswell via a descendent of Albert Robert.

Wow! Thank you for such amazing information and for all the time that you have spent researching my request - I am truly thankful.
Vincent John Williams and Lorna Doone Hill are my grandparents on my fathers side.On what site did you see the photo of them? I would love to find it and see it myself.Unfortunately I never asked them enough questions about their lives when they were alive,so that I would know more about my family tree.
I will be travelling to Chewton early March to hopefully find out more information.
Thank you once again,for your priceless information and I look forward to piecing it all together.
Regards

Hi Everyone,
My family believe that we are the direct descendants of Margaret Harper & Gerorge Williams,who appear to have had 11 children.
Strangely though,our great grandfather John Henry has not been listed in their record of births.We believe he was born in Chewton on 11th June 1863.
Which is the best way to verify this please
With Thanks
Sue

Hi Everyone. I have just become a member of RootsChat and I am very interested in your information on Margaret Harper as she would be my great great grandmother on my fathers side (my maiden name is Williams). Thank you for taken us one step further back in our search for our heritage.I would love to be able to fill in any gaps if I am able.
