aussierhonda goes wordpress

Well, here we are finally back online.  Whilst I loved Drupal for presenting a genealogy website, I found the constant security updates tiresome and annoying.  I could have taken the time to move it to Drupal 6, however the update problem would still have been there.  With Wordpress, there are automatic updates.  This is a dream to me and a life saviour!

Meaning of Names





Marco Family aka Millers

Our Miller and related families had strong ties to the world of ‘travelling entertainers’ as showman, acrobats, sideshow, circus and even a snakeman. In fact the family is still represented within the business today!

Charlie Miller (1894-1949) was apparently known as the ‘Snakeman’ around Bingara. Charlie and Emily nee Davis (his wife) were also known as the ‘Marco’s’ within the circuit.

William C Johnson + Mary Ellen Reeves

John JOHNSON and Elizabeth Smyth

The Johnson family were predominately based around Tamworth and Manilla in New South Wales. As you can see I have very little information on them, are you the person to help us out?

Heather’s mother died when she was a lass and she was sent to an orphanage, during her youth she had contact with her mother’s family and has fond memories of them, more so than her father’s family, which the Johnson’s are.

William Lucas & Anna Speir

A LITTLE LUCAS HISTORY

My paternal Lucas branch has been transplanted on Australian soil for 8 generations to date and I have found three brothers making a fresh start here (so far). They were Daniel, the eldest and first to arrive @ 1881 then William and his family along with his youngest brother James in 1885. The brothers appeared to follow in the family tradition of being iron moulders with Daniel having his own company 'Bird & Lucas Pty Ltd' located in the Forest Lodge, Glebe area, Sydney. The company was de-registered in 1985. If anybody has any connection or knowledge of this company I would love to hear from you as I would like to know what they made!
