1. A great-great-great grandmother was sent out by ship at age 11 travelling only with her 9 yo sister. Their father sent them to live with relatives here because their mother, and 3 siblings (including a baby in arms) were killed in a carriage accident when the horses bolted. (It happened in Dublin)
2. A great-great-great grandfather trained trotting horses in Sydney in the late 1800's
3. A g-g-g- grandfather (other side of the family) found himself in the army, having accepted the King's Shilling unawares, served in the Colony in New South Wales, and when discharged, became a policeman and the local District Magistrate near Yass, in southern New South Wales.
4. My father's mother's cousin was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. It was his first battle.
5. A brother? or cousin? of a great great grandmother was killed when transporting gold on a Cobb and Co. coach. (My father's side of the family)
6. One of the male members of the family, born late 1890's or early 1900s went all his life by the name "William" After his death, they found his birth certificate, and he was named on there as "Wilhemina". Best explanation, as his father had a broad Scots accent, and when registering
the birth of his new little son had probably 'wet' the baby's head, was that the clerk who filled out the certificate couldn't understand him.
