Hi
I married Bryce John Olver in 1994. His father is also Bryce John. The Olver name is not very common inAustralia and i am curious for my daughter's sake. Her father is deceased.

Hello Suzanne

I can't help you much but I may have a starting point for you. My grandfather, Lindsay Roy Olver, was born in Yackandandah in 1903. When I had a bit of a look a few years ago there were a number of Olvers in NE Victoria.

Good luck

Hi I can Help with the Australian Olver
My Mother Maiden Name Was A.K.S Olver

I too am a descendant of Olvers here in Australia originally from Cornwall England and am looking for any information re John Olver born approx 1760 England father of Thomas Hodge Olver who emigrated to Daylesford Hepburn area Australia

I am also from the Hodge side of the Olvers. My grandmother (fathers side) was Edna May Hodge 27/05/1904-03/01/1952. Edna was the second child of Harry and Margaret Hodge and married Kenneth Cecil Olver on June 21 1930.

hi there you look like you have had a few responses but yes olver is a cornish name as far as i am aware some of my hawken/olver/bennett family have also move to australia in the past but for some reason some of us on our branch ended up in the channel islands!!(only joking)

I'm really slack and have just noticed that the second listing on the popular search engine for 'Olver, Yackandandah' shows my original post. Just going through war records (Changi) to copy for a grandson and thought I'd check. Olvers from Yack must be related but I know nothing about that side of the family.
