Hi all,

From the records I have found (and from what I can remember mum saying) The name changed due to a spelling error back at the time of my great grandfather George Eli Kebblewhite (1875-1968).

Apparently this was a common thing due to the poor literacy of the time.

From the records mum left me, My second great grandfather was William Henry Kibblewhite (Kebblewhite) and he was born 25/12/1847 in Castle Eaton, Swindon UK and died April 11 1885 in Leichhart NSW Australia.

The Tumut/Wagga family line is quite large, with marriages into the Kell,Piper and French families in the area... My Grandfather, George Reginald Kebblewhite was born in Portland NSW (from memory) and settled in the Parramatta NSW area.

I hope this helps ...

Have a great week.
