Hi
Can you help us with any of these Haines below. There are many further generations living in the Ballarat area, Wonthaggi etc upto the present day. I believe Christopher William d 10/4/2014 in Wontahggi, and there is a write up in the local press, though I'm not sure how to access this
We have been trying to trace as many of our Haines families Australian Branch as possible, since George took his wife Rebecca Ellen and 5? children from England to Australia in the 1860's - cannot find a passenger record for their emigration...we haven't found it in the Assisted/Unassisted passenger lists on the wbe sites recommended in
George and Rebecca with children Frederick George, Ellen, Lucy Gough, Harry (Henry) and Kate Elizabeth set up home in the Ballarat area of Victoria and Rebecca had 2 further children - Edwin Walter and Christopher Hurst Haines in 1870 and 1871
There appears to be a gap of 10 years between Kate Elizabeth b Dec qtr 1859 Isle of Wight, England and Edwin b @1870 Ballarat, Australia. I think George also remarried in 1887 in Ballarat to a Susannah Carman after his first wife's death in 1885, though we cannot be sure

We would be grateful for any further info, if possible. There are @25 further Haines in the second Generation and more still after that. We do know that there are still members of the family living in Wonthaggi 150 years on, one of whom died in 2014. I did contact someone (not a Haines) in the town via a web site called, I thimk,Wonthaggi Genealogy Inc. However despite an initial positive response, nothing ever came of our enquiry and so no additional info
Thanks in anticipation
