About The Birrells Family
Please sign in to see more. Updated 22nd February 2020
My Birrell Family came from Edinburgh Scotland, My Father David migrated alone to Australia in 1927 at the age of 16 years. His occupation listed as Van Boy on the passenger list His older brother William Duncan arrived the same year and would have been 22 years old. The Story goes that William Duncan and two other men jumped ship in Adelaide, which would suggest they had a working passage, to date I have not found the ship they arrived on. Their sister Elizabeth (Dolly) migrated to Australia also but that was at a later date, Now confirmed
I have made contact with my cousin In Ireland, the son of my fathers other brother who migrated to Ireland
The Robinson family is evolving as I have traced the family and some still live in the same area 300 years later
Hackett Family have made some progress need to see Emma Hacketts 1905 marriage licence for more details, have found Hacketts in USA that are related just need to make contact. Contact now made
March 2014 have added all the Hacket names that I know are related and birthdays some may still be alive, I have listed them as Deceased so more people can see the information have photos of these people uploaded
Interesting part not all my past relatives lived by socially accepted standards of the day. In fact no different than some of us are today in 2014, except they were less open about it |
