Hi Kiernan63,
   Welcome to rootschat 

   I'm sure sbowie and 251 will be thrilled to catch up with another family member.  They will have been notified of your post and will be along very soon.

   How very sad about your father being killed like that - it must have been a terrible time for your family.

regards,
   Ros

Hello Kiernan63,  It's very exciting that you commented on the this post.  I am the Grandson of Leonard Kiernan and Great Grandson of Sylvester.  Diane is my mother.  I have been trying to put the family tree together for a  little while now using Ancestry, but then I was introduced to Rootschat. It is an awesome site. Hopefully we can exchange lots of information and memories about the Kiernan side of the family.  Look forward to hearing from you. 

Regards
Sean

Great to hear from you Kiernan63,
Myself, Sean and Angela the descendants of Jane, Elizabeth and John Hampson/Hamson have been in touch via FB. We would love to hear from you, if you post a couple more replies here you can p.m me on this site, as I wouldn't be as brave as Sean putting my email online.
My mother knew all about the Australian side of the family, I remember growing up hearing the story of your father's tragic accident, though clearly I wasn't paying enough attention.......
I have pictures, though most are of the twins, I think they used to send letters regularly, possibly to Georgie Jones or my mother.
So post a few replies here. Regards 251

This is a picture of my Mum around the time I think the twins would have been writing.
