Hi Cathy

I can yes to 1 and 2. You are related to me from every direction through the
Burton, Rowe and Saul families!

Rowe: Harold Melbourne Humphrey Rowe was born in 1888 (listed on BDM as
Melbourne) is a distant Rowe relative from Kempsey. His family has a
connection to Austral Eden and the Verge family. Harold died on 12 Oct 1956
and Ruby Jean on 8 Feb 1980. They are buried in Kempsey.

Burton: Cecil James (Mick) was a first cousin to my grandmother, Ruby Saul
(nee Burton), who was the daughter of Thomas Burton, James' (Jim) younger
brother. I remember Aunty Effie as a child. Mick died 10 Oct 1991 at Kempsey
and Laura Mabel in Oct 1986. Laura Mabel's brother was John Eardley (Jack)
Fisher. He married my great aunt, Pat Saul, who was a sister to my
grandfather, Tom Saul.

Craig: That Craig family does not appear to connect to mine. But, I am
interested as to where they came from in Scotland. Paisley, maybe? That is
where my lot are from. They were on Austral Eden and married into the Rowe
family. One lot moved to Macksville and Raleigh and Bellingen.

Hope this helps

Lorraine

Hi Lorraine
I have a number of connections to the families mentioned, mostly through
marriage and a number would be unconfirmed because I'm not sure if they
are the same families as yours.
I would love to hear from anyone else who may be related to anyone I
mention.

1) ROWE

I have a Harold M H ROWE (birth year & birthplace unknown) marrying my
relative Ruby J LENEHAN in Kempsey in 1916. Ruby was born in Kempsey in
1895.
I can't find death records for either of them

2) BURTON

I have a Cecil J BURTON (born Bellingen 1903 parents: James & Effie)
marrying my relative Laura M FISHER (born Kempsey in 1899, parents
Walter FISHER & Maria HUDSON) in Kempsey in 1927.
Don't have death records.

3) CRAIG

I have a Robert P CRAIG (born Port Macquarie 1873 parents: George
Francis & Mary) marrying my relative Mary Ann Bridget O'DOHERTY (born
1876 Port Macquarie parents: Bernard O'DOHERTY & Sarah Jane CARNEY) in
Port Macquarie in 1897.
They had the following children that I know of;

Nora Mary Ita CRAIG b 1898 Port Macquarie married Errol Garnett STANFORD
b 1901 Wellington

Catherine F CRAIG b 1900 Port Macquarie married James E MITCHISON b 1898
Wickham

Irene I CRAIG b 1902 Port Macquarie
further details unknown

Nathaniel Patrick CRAIG b 1905 Port Macquarie married Elizabeth Mollie
McGRATH b 1905 Sydney

Hope there is some connection

All the best
