Dear Andy
How's it going? Thought I may of heardfrom you by now. Whats going on. I have been up to the Latter Day Saints research room again to do some rechecking on our family and I must say I am finding out some pretty weird stuff. I am beginning to think we are mising up two families. I could be wrong.
I will relate to you what I have found out. firstly Jane McKenna. We know she was born 23 Mar 1861. Well, she either has a twin also named Jane or she was living with 2 husbands.
The following details came from the Tas-link program on the computer.
Individual Details
Name: Jane Mckenna
Event: birth
Gender: Female
Birth: 23 March 1861
Father: Charles
Mother: Catherinine McQugo
Spouse: Mark Bonnitcha, M: 1 Oct 1885
Children: Nicholas Bonnitcha, B: 26 July 1886, Hobart Tas D: 2 Aug 1891, Hobart Tas
Now after I found this out. I decided to check on the Tas Pioneer Index and found this.
Name E Age Father Mother Place Date Reg No.
Jane Mckenna B Charles Catherine McQugo Hobart 23 Mar 1861 4191
Name E Age Spouse Place Date Reg No.
Jane McKenna m 24 Mark Bonitcha (24) Hobart 1 Oct 1885 511
Jane Mary McKenna m 23 Henry Horlock (22) Hobart 4 Dec 1884 369
I can't work out which Jane belongs to us. Slso I tried to fit in the dates with the Horlocks thinking maybe she was married twice but that didn't work out, so now I have to delve futher and see what I come up with.
Christopher Peter McKenna birth 25 Dec 1863, It definitely came up as 1866...
Now Arthur James Tulloch. (Married Elizabeth Mary McKenna)
B: 18 Oct 1857, Hobart Tas, Reg No 991
Source: Tas Pineer Index
Father: Arthur Tulloch
B: 1829
D 24 April 1857, Hobart Age 28
Mother Ann Ryan (Arthur and Ann married 28 Aug 1856)
Nothing came up about Charles Tulloch.
But what I did find out was Arthur Robert Tulloch son of Arthur and Elizabeth (Mckenna) was born 3 Jan 1888 Bobart Tas. He is registered under the same Sullock (I presume it was only a typing error)
Also found out that Mary Macerall's mother Rosannah was married twice.
I wrote to a MV Horlock in Tasmania and I received a lovely letter back. He said his Grandfather was the elder brother of Henry Charles Horlock (who married Jane Mckenna) B. 14 Sept 1861. He said he had some info.
Then a couple of days later I got a package in the mail from Mr Horlock again. In it was some baptism certificates and other info Copies are enclosed with this letter.
I had a letter from Lois Bricken. She send me a package also. This Hickman branch is almost complete. You might like to add these details to the Hickman branch.
Ian Wirt Bricken

Children: Benjamin William, B: 16 Jan 1999 USA

Now we are both up to date. Hop you appreciate this as I have worked hard on this.
Next step now is for me to write to the Curries in Tasmania. Also the Sextons.
Please note on Baptism Certificates for the Horlocks
Birthdate on Joseph Leslie Gordon, And sponsors of Cecil Vivian
Well I will send this off. Let me know what you think and don't waid to long ok.
