      Hi Dennis,
      Thanks for your reply. I would love to read the information you have. William and Catherine had more than 3 children. There was Catherine (your ancestor), Ann (my gggmother), Jacob (who died in infancy), Martha, William, George (died aged 16), Elizabeth (who married the founder of Ashton's Circus), Jane and Carolline (who died aged 10 weeks). W & C were married before coming to Australia and only settled in Maitland when William left his regiment. I was aware of the Kelly connection but would love to chat with you. I am in touch with a cousin (Robyn)closer biologically to you than me. Maybe you have already had contact with her.
      Cheers, Barbara

  • Notes 
    • Hello John,
      I'm wondering if your information can go back further. My Critchleys hailed from Wheelton, Lancashire. My great-great-great grandfather was William Critchley. He was born between 1772 and 1785. He married a Catherine Murphy and ended up in Australia via the 48th Northumberland Regiment. Catherine was from Ireland. I would love more to find out more about him.
