Hi Col.
This is a copy of a reply I made to one of your other posts...
Hugh Eccles was my great (x3) grandfather and I've managed to dig up a mountain of data (documents, photos) about him on many of my trips to London on business. Hugh was born ~1827 in Armagh, Ireland, married Elizabeth Saltmarsh and Frank was one of his 6 children.
Frank was born in Westminster, London on 15 June 1858 and died in Sydney on 15 May 1890 (yes, very young), but not before fathering 5 children. Hugh stayed in England, dying in London on 22 January 1887 (retired Superintendent of the Met Police).
Email me at
alanrh@me.com (updated address) and I'll send you a copy of all the data I have, including a .gedcom file of that part of my lineage.
