L'ESTRANGE / PENNYCUICK / MACMILLAN - Condobolin NSW

[jeanlit]

I have previously asked this question with no luck at:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,220558.0.html

I have been trying to find a connection between Wm Pennycuick, Thos Lestrange and Ronnie McMillan, whose gravestone is in Condobolin, New South Wales, Australia cemetery.

Condobolin cemetery site:
http://cemindex.arkangles.com/inscriptions.php

The only conclusion I have come up with is that Wm Pennycuick married Mary L'estrange, who had a brother Thomas, and her sister married Alexander MacMillan.

Can anyone shed any more light on this?

My notes show that Alexander William mariied Agnes McMillan (as Pennycuick). Notes also died 1944 Condobolin.
According to my notes Alexander had 3 daughters. Gladys M Pennyquick, born 1900 in Condobolin,Sybil B B 1902 Cond.
and Isobel B b 1905 Con.  I'm seeking James.
Another family member listed here was Ethel Bonie Pennycook b 1878 d 3July 1954 .Married Thomas Tasker in 1906 and he died 1917? Not sure if this is the same Thomas Tasker that was mayor of Condobolin in 1903.

This is what I have found on the Pennycuick family:

William Pennycuick married Mary L'estrange, registered 1869 at Goulburn NSW.

Jessie Pennycuick (born about 1871) Married Thomas Byrum in 1908 registered at Condobolin.

Possible birth of James Pennycook/Pennycuick registered at Binalong in 1872, father James mother Mary.

Alexander Pennycuick (birth registered at Yass in 1874) married Agnes.

Ethel Benie Pennycuick (birth registered at Gunning in 1878) married Thomas Tasker. [Benie was her grandmother's name]

Andrew Pennycuick birth and death registered at Condobolin
in 1880.

Agnes Stella Pennycuick may be another daughter - she married Sidney Robert Oppy registered at Condobolin in 1920.

Hi Jean,

There are a few Pennycuick people here in the Pioneer Indexes for Tasmania.

Hi

Is there a William Pennycuick in the Pioneer Index?   He was married in NSW in 1869 so I guess he would have been born before 1850 at least.

Hi Jean,

Sorry no William.
The main names are John and James Pennycuick. The earliest is James who was married to a Janet Todd.

I will P.M you with all the Pennyycuicks from Tassie.
My Mother-in-Law lives in a Pennycuick Court in Tasmania.

Hi

Sorry to interrupt,

I am curious - do those in this thread pronounce the name 'Pennycuick' as 'Pennycook' or 'Pennyquick'?

My branch of the family seemed to have emigrated to the Rockhampton area in the 1800's and spread out from there.  My paternal grandfather (KG Pennycuick) was apparently insistent on the Pennycuick pronunciation - although I have ppl from Rocky who try to tell me different.  Grandfather was city engineer for many years so the name is a bit known in Rocky. 

I have some info on our branch if its useful.
