Hi Karina, I have Kay family in Perth, West Aus, is this the area you are looking in? If so, I think that it is a possiblity that we may be related somewhere down the line??? I can be contacted on Sue84218@hotmail.com

My family names are Eric, Val, John & Robin .... Any connection there for you? The rest of our family are here in Britain and also in Canada.

Yes I can give you all the details that I have of my Kay's (also, in Perth).... I also have 'Goggin's' out there too.... But would you mind using either of my personal email addresses .. as for some reason I am having problems with Ancestry continually dropping out on me and / or not getting messages. So I only use it as a contact point now!
You can find me on: sue 84218 at homail .com
or:- Kaysue2 at Googlemail .com ..... I break my adresses up this way for security reasons - it stops (supposedly) hackers finding addresses so easily in emails.

I had a late Uncle Eric Kay (died 2004) who came out in the late 50's early 60's ... However, I have found and made contact with that part of the family for the first time. However, There are still others out there .. but I need to get my data out and sort it into something that you may be able to use. I am new to all this (less than a year)so alot of my stuff has been given to me by others and I am slowly ploughing my way through it and trying to make sense of it all.

Would you mind giving me your personal contact details via one of my addresses and once I have a contact address (that works) then a day or two to get something down for you to look at???

Either way, we do at least have something in common .... our surnames ... and with a bit of luck we just might find that way back when .. we where related to each other some how? That would be really great .... Looking forward to sharing ... already!

Best wishes Su Kay.

Yes, where are you and who are you??? I am Su Kay based in England as are most of my relations however we have Kay's & Goggin's who moved out to the Perth area over the years.

So at this moment I am particularly looking in that area of Western Aus. My grandfather was George Ebenezer Kay born North London Eng in 1900. He was one of many brother's and sisters. You can find me on sue84218 at hotmail .com or kaysue2 at googlemail .com

Would love to hear from you either way.

Hi there .... My 'Kay' family settled in the Perth area in the 1960's ... where are you based family wise in Aus? I am in UK and have info on the 'London Kays' who ... we believe originated from Yorkshire. Our original 'Kay' was John Kay who married Mary Collins at St Andrew by the Wardrobe, London on 22 Sept 1774. I also have info on Goggin's, Mueller's & Moret's who feature largely in our side of the family in over the last 100 / 150 years. Anne Caroline Louisa Chapman (1874) is also a name also features large in the family history.
But be aware ... there are also the Lancaster & Suffolk Kay's in the mixture ... So we would need more info from you as to names, places etc to confirm a possible link. You can email me on my personal address Sue84218@hotmail.com as I check that address Most days. Love to hear from you.
