Re: Thomas & Nellie FLYNN of RUM JUNGLE
Hi I've been in touch with some of your relatives. Some of the family think Jennie and Maggie (Nellies Mum) were sisters and were both Woolwonga women from the Pine Creek area.

Re: Thomas & Nellie FLYNN of RUM JUNGLE
That's interesting and something I didn't know yet, thanks for sharing. I'm glad to know family are doing research too. There was also another child listed on the document (also a child of Jennie) , who I think wasn't fathered by Lindsay. Says she was May's half sister. It would be interesting to know more. I read Nellie's beautiful story online somewhere and it states that Lindsay was a Maori man? I thought he was British/French, does anyone know why that may have been mentioned? could there be any possible connection? I'm having trouble tracing Frances Mitchell's line (Lindsay's Mother). I can't find any records of her, for immigration etc

Hi, Are you a descendent of Juana Frenanda Calma? My Great Uncle was Arthur Stew who married Juana. I came to Australia and met some of the family in 2012. My husband is also descended from William the Conqueror. Regards.
