| − | I have been researching my family and that of my husband's for several decades now. My family is mostly Irish with some English; my husband's is Scottish and English. I have located branches from both families in the U.S.A., Canada and Australia, as well as some 'cousins' who remained 'at home' in the UK and Eire.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Pinker'''....beginning with Isaac who was born abt 1710 in Christian Malford, Wiltshire, and married Betty Harding there in 1733. The Pinkers were stone masons to trade, moving from Christian Malford to Box, thence to Bristol, before four siblings emigrated in the 1880s to Perth Western Australia.
| |
| − | My great grandfather, Thomas Pinker, his wife Amelia nee Duddridge and their nine children sailed on the 'Otago' arriving in 1886, the youngest child, Annie, dying on the voyage.
| |
| − | Thomas himself was dead of typhoid fever within six months of arrival, leaving his widow to distribute her children...the two oldest girls into marriages, the three oldest sons into work, the two youngest sons, my grandfather Arthur and his brother Thomas, into an orphanage. Amelia herself made a second mariage, not long after the still birth of her last Pinker child.

| − | '''Ahern'''..my great great grandfather , Michael Ahern, was born abt 1819 in Shandon, Cork,Irl, enlisted in the British Army and finished serving in India, initially in the 17th foot Regiment, but transferred to the 8th Regiment shortly after his marriage to Mary Ann Butler in 1847 at Colabah, India. Mary was said to have been 'Spanish', but it is quite likely she was Anglo-Indian. Three of their surviving children were born in India, but Michael was discharged in 1861 and signed on as a Pensioner Guard to accompany convicts to the Swan River Colony on the '''York'''. Three more children, among them my great grandfather, Arthur, were born in Fremantle Western Australia .

| − | These are three of the children of Arthur Ahern. Do you think they are consistent with my theory that their grandmother was Anglo-Indian? From left to right...Agnes Gertrude Ahern (my grandmother), Clarence Arthur Ahern and Ada Louisa Ahern.

| − | My Husband's names-the paternal line:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''McKinlay/ Mackinlay''' The earliest ancestor I have been able to verify is Peter McKinlay, b. abt 1780, Callander Perthshire, d. 1853 Campsie. He was possibly the son of Finlay McKinlay and Janet McFarlane, but I have no definite proof. Peter, a slater to trade, married Margaret Kincaid in Campsie Stirlingshire in 1804 and raised a large family. The youngest, a son named John(1820-1898), also a slater, was my husband's great great grandfather, who moved his family to Glasgow about 1850, although he was to return to Campsie to live alone in his latter years. John's son Archibald (b.1847 Campsie, d.1922 Tambellup Western Australia),a plumber, married in Donegal, Irl, raised his family in Glasgow, then Stevenston Ayrshire, before emigrating to Quebec in Canada in 1907, when he eventually left his wife and daughters to join his only son in Western Australia to help him with a pioneer farm in 1915.

| − | '''Gould''' Of Devon and Dorset. A well documented English family, which appears in the Heralds' Visitations of both those counties and purports to descend from one John Gould/Gold, a Crusader who was rewarded for his efforts at the siege of Damietta abt 1217 with an estate at Seaborough. The Goulds prospered as merchants and by making shrewd marriages. One branch established itself at Upwey and West Stafford, before falling into decline during the lifetime of the Rev. John Gould of Beaconsfield, Bucks (1780-1866), who was obliged to sell the family property of Frome Billet. The son of John Gould, John Henry (1826-1896), emigrated to Victoria Australia and his son, also John Henry Gould (1868-1948), my husband's grandfather, moved to Western Australia where his youngest daughter Dorothy was born and married Archibald Mackinlay, only son of John Mackinlay.
