These are my
main lines but I am also interested in the names that link to them
I
have been tracing my family tree for about 15 years. My WILSON family
stretches from South Australia back to Yorkshire. My BOSANKO,
JOLLY, TONKIN (and ROWE, GRILLETT, MATTHEWS and NANKIVELL) families
stretch from South Australia back to Cornwall. About
Me
Daryl's family roots are in Denmark and Germany (HINNRICHSEN) as well as Cheshire and Leicestershire (FARAM, HURST and ECCLESTONE). He also has JONES from Berkshire/Wiltshire.
I am also searching for my first husband's roots and so far have reached from Australia to Berkshire and Bedfordshire in England (MUSICKA & FENN).
Have a browse around and if you have an interest in any of the names mentioned please email me and maybe we can help each other!

There are also many
BESANKO
families. My mother told me that as a child she was told that there
were 2 brothers who did not get on and to avoid people getting them confusd
one changed his name so that there was a BOSANKO and a BESANKO. A
few years ago I related this tale to a chap named BESANKO in South Australia
and he replied that he too had heard the same tale from a member of his
family! So far, however, apart from the occasional spelling error,
the connection has not been made between the 2 families. The
challenge remains!
Many thanks to Fayth
Harrison for putting together all the BOSANKO data on her pages to which
I have linked to above and also to Tom and Libby Luke for their input into
BESANKO.
If you have BOSANKO/BESANKO/BOSANCO etc lines please check out Fayth's page of 'Missing BOSANKOs' and see if you can add some pieces to the jigsaw.

John WILSON (of Oakenshaw)
- probably Matthew's brother
John and Hannah GLEDHILL
- possibly Matthew's sister
James WILSON (Rev)
- definitely Matthew's brother
Bateman and Maria
- probably James' children by his first marriage to Martha BATEMAN
Jabez and Hannah WILSON
(b 18 Jan 1836) James WILSON's twins by his second marriage to Hannah (nee
STEAD)
William SMITH
Thomas ?WILSON (uncle)
Jonas WORSNUP
- ? married Matthew's sister Sarah
? WADSWORTH and ?
SHIRE(S) (aunts)
Mary SMITH (cousin)
Maria BEDFORD (cousin)
Sarah (nee WILSON)
- Matthew states in his journal on March 4 1846 "....My dear
sister Sarah died May 6 1844. It is now two years since she passed
through the valley and I have only just heard of it......"
These are all clues
that have helped in identifying some relationships, so if you see a possible
connection please email me!
I have also learnt
that Matthew's brother James married a third time to Margaret (nee BARNES)
and had a daughter Margaret by this marriage. James lived to be almost
92 years old.
I am now fairly sure
that Matthew and James' parents were John and Sarah (nee LOCKWOOD).
Some names linked
in South Australia are TONKIN, KINGSBOROUGH, LILLYWHITE, GOODE and LEAKE.
My
gt grandparents - Edward & Elizabeth Wearn NANKIVELL (nee MATTHEWS)
Daryl's
grandfather - Charles Preston HURST
Daryl's
gt gt grandfather - William ECCLESTONE
Daryl's

Her mother may have been Martha.
1st marriage to DUNSTAN
in Gippsland Victoria;
children: Fanny Caroline b 1862
George b aft 1862
William b aft 1862
The family went to
New Zealand but it is unknown whether Thomas went or where he died or even
whether Marianne married John Henry ROGERS in Victoria or New Zealand -
I suspect NZ.
2nd marriage
to John Henry ROGERS in ?New Zealand about 1871;
children:
Amy Margaret (1884 - 1957)
As far as I can determine
only Marianne and Amy returned to Australia (Fanny, George and Willie remained
in NZ). Jhn Henry was abt 53 when Amy was born.
3rd marriage to CHRISTIANSEN
in Victoria about 1892; - no children
Unable to find records
for this but possibly married in either Victoria or Western Australia.
4th marriage to Richard
Robert BARNETT in Kalgoorlie, WA on 25 May 1909. - no children
Richard was 40 years
younger than Marianne.
Marianne was a dressmaker and apparently a clairvoyant.
The name MUSICKA is believed to be White Russian or Polish. So far I have traced from Williamstown in Victoria, Australia to Reading in Berkshire, England. Lloyd George Musicka married Doris Edna Rose FENN.
Other names in Harry's family include
