Hi Peter,
By any chance were you the Peter Humble, living in South Australia that contacted my relatives a while ago about James Robert Thackeray.
I am currently in the process of researching my family tree. My second great grandfather was Herbert George Makepeace Thackeray. He was the son of James Robert Thackeray.
I have a newspaper article stating that H. G. M. Thakceray was directly related to the novalist. I believe that this refers to William Makepeace Thackeray.
I have however been unable to find out where their paths cross.
I was wondering if you would be able to help me.
I have only managed to do a little bit of research into the thackeray family. I am aware that there was a court case involving James, where he had an affair and later had children with Ellen Palmer. I was wondering if you would also be able to share any information you have obtained about the Thackeray family line.
One final question, by any chance do you have a photo of James Robert Thackeray
Thank you for your help

Dear Jessica
Did you get any further information on James Robert Thackeray? He is my 5th great grandfather, through my paternal grandmother, whose grandmother was Hannah Thackeray. We grew up with the family story about W M Thackeray being a great great great etc uncle, but I'm not sure of its veracity. I've seen those newspaper articles you refer to about reference to WMT,(and also read up the fascinating court proceedings related to the Rev Thackeray and Bishop Tyrell). It seems to me that Rev Thackeray our ancestor added Makepeace to his name later in life after moving to Queensland and named his later children with Ellen Palmer putting Makepeace in their names. Makes me think maybe he made the relationship up.
Kind regards
Wend Wyatt
