Greg's
Ancestry .
Paternal
Line:
I have been researching my ancestry for several years now and have
spent many
hours developing my pedigree.
I'm frustrated on my paternal
side with the BALDWIN line.
This line, I am led to believe,
originated in Kent,
England.
My
great great grand father, William James BALDWIN, migrated to New Zealand
two
months before the 1851 Census was taken. Hence my difficulty in
locating the

Missing
McLEAN Family
Member in Australia [Isabella
Melvin (Bella) McLEAN b. 02 Mar 1894 in South Street,
Elgin,
Elgin,
Scotland
m. David GRANT]:
I am trying to locate
descendants of Bella GRANT who married a R. J. TAYLOR
in Scotland and
migrated to Australia
in the 1950's.
R. J. TAYLOR
was the
informant on the death certificate for his mother-in-law, Isabella
Melvin GRANT
(nee McLEAN). Isabella Melvin McLEAN
married David Johnson GRANT in Abt 1915 in Edinburgh,
Midlothian, Scotland.
The address shown on
the deaths
certificates for Isabella & David GRANT was 41 Menangle Road, Camden,
N.S.W., Australia.
If anybody thinks
that they may
have information on this family or known a person who could be a member
of this
family, could you please ask them to contact me.
My BIRCH pedigree I
have back to c980, in England,
thanks to John BIRCH, who heads the BIRCH One Name Study. Unfortunately
John Birch past away on the 30 Jun 2008 in Syston, Leicestershire,
England. He was a real gentleman and his death is a loss to the
genealogical community, in particular those researching the BIRCH
surname.
