Hello everyone,

I am interested in finding out more about my 3rd great grandparents William Candy and Harriet Ellett and their children. William and Harriet lived in Dorset, Somerset, then lived in Gloucester where they had most of their children before moving to Melbourne, Australia.

Although William and Harriet lived most of their lives in Somerset, England, William died in Collingwood, Victoria, and many of their children migrated to Australia. I was hoping that some of the Australian connections might spark someone's interest or memory.

Here are the details of William, Harriet and their children.

They also had an eight child who I don't know the name or sex of but was born in 1837 in Gloucester before dying on the 25th of April 1837, also in Gloucester.

In particular, I am interested in learning more about:

* I noticed that Thomas Candy and Elizabeth Ann Lack's first child (Clara Jane Candy (1856-1857)) was born and died in Melbourne, Australia, however, Thomas's later children were born in Gloucester and Surrey. I was wondering if someone would help me find immigration records for Thomas and his wife.
* George Candy is of particular interest, he was placed in the Asylum at Beechworth in the early 1870s for "Religious mania". Prior to that he was working in Collingwood as a stonemason. His wife, Eliza later entered the asylum at Beechworth.
* Mary Ann Candy (1820-1849) married a Mr William Huggins (1819-1866). Their second eldest child Jane Huggins (1844-1888) married a Mr William Hyam (1847-1924). I was hoping for any information about their children. Mr Hyam did remarry after Jane's death to a Kate Elizabeth Whitton (1861-1923).
* Harriet Candy (1823-1885) and her husband Henry Morris Rogers (1821-1909) and their child Henry Albert Rogers (1856-?). I would like to find out Henry Albert's date of death.

Thank you for any assistance, I hope everyone is staying safe and getting lots of family history work done.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any information about Henry Morris Rogers and his wife Harriet Candy and their children. I know the children's names are Henry Albert, Clara Jane, Elizabeth Harriet, William Henry and Frederic Charles.

Henry Morris Rogers was born in about 1821 and lived in Worcester for most of his life.

Thank you.

I am seeking information regarding a Samuel Candy who was born in Frome, Somerset in 1751 and died in Tennessee US in 1837.
He married Catherine Candy Kingfisher (Cherokee) in 1767 in the US
I would really like to find out more about Samuel Candy before he left England. I know nothing of his parents or brothers and sisters .
If anyone has any information I would be very grateful for some help.
Philip Candy

Does anyone have any information regarding the Candy family?

Philip Candy

Fellow listers

Could someone please check the death index for Alfred SELBY who died at Warrandyte on 16 December 1918?

I am trying to identify his parents; I assume they will turn out to be Thomas and Marie (surname UNKNOWN).

Many thanks in anticipation

Kind regards

Phil Candy
