Hi

Thanks for replying, but I am not sure we can help each other. I saw the Tasmanian branch, but with Clifford he was born in SOuth Africa after his Father moved there. He then migrated to South Australia sometime and lived there after the war. Unfortunately I have got nowhere with the SOuth African side or South Australia as their records on Ancestry and their own sites are not as good as other states.

regards

Robert

Hi, Ken

I realise that this is quite a while since you posted the above message, but I thought you might be interested to know that I am a distant relative of William Page Asbhurner. His eldest son was William James Ashburner, who married Mary Elizabeth Wormald. They had about fifteen children. One of their daughters was Alice Henrietta, who married Dr James Alexander Kay (in South Africa). Their eldest daughter was Joy Ashburner Kay (my grandmother). Joy Kay married Stafford Maxwell Hill (sometime Receiver of Revenue in Johannesburg during WW2), their daughter Joy Hill was my mother and my name is Jennifer Clare Mitchell (nee Nixon - my mother was married twice, first to Eric William Nixon). I have in a family Bible for the Ashburner (now in the hands of my eldest son).

Just thought you might be interested in the above. I am trying to work out my family tree.

Regards.

Hi Jennifer
my brother and I are also researching our ancestry. We are trying to establish who our great grandfather was. Details of my family as below:
Grandfather: Harry John Ashburner: born July1880/81, not sure where, maybe South Africa
Father: Andrew Allan Ashburner: born 23 March 1926
Me: Granville Patrick Ashburner: born 28 December 1956

we think that our great grandfather could be Harry Ashburner, born 1861 in India or one of the older brothers,
Frank Ashburner, born 1851
Charles Edward Ashburner, born 1853
Reginals James Ashburner, born 16 March 1860
Most of my uncles all have names of their uncles, such as Harry, Robert Edward, Sydney James, Herbert John and so forth
I would really appreciate it if you have any infromation regarding this, to share it with me
regards
Granville Ashburner
