Ask and you shall receive! Names from Australia

So back on 10th July, I put out an All Points Bulletin asking for help with finding a William Fitz-Henry in Victoria, Australia. My lovely Australian correspondent Lesley Champion has emailed me a list of 17 Fitz(-)henry sightings in Victoria this evening. Brilliant.

Some I already knew about, but there are others that I would like to share and someone may recognise a name. All credit to Lesley for the following list and if you are recognise one of Lesley's relatives (marked with an *) then I can put you in touch with her:

Here are the lists of Fitzhenrys located in the Victorian Indexes.

  2. My great grand mother was Elizabeth Warburton (nee Fitzhenry) who died in 1900 in Windsor, Victoria, Australia. She had married Henry Joseph Warburton in St Kilda, Victoria, Australia in 1882 and had 5 children (Mary Eleanor, Joseph, John, Lawrence Henry and Maudie). Elizabeth's parents were Lawrence Fitzhenry and Eleanor (nee Wiles), (AKA Ellen Wiles; Ellen Wyles; Ellen Wyld; Ellen Wilds;. Elizabeth's parents appear to have been married in New Ross, Co Wexford, Ireland in about 1850 and emigrated to Australia in 1865 with Elizabeth who was born in about 1861. Eleanor's parents were Stephen Wiles and Elizabeth Brown. Eleanor was born in about 1838 in Co Wexford to Stephen Wiles and Elizabeth Brown. Eleanor and Lawrence Fitzhenry had 7 children in all - Elizabeth, Maria, Catherine, Robert, Eleanor, Catherine (this appears to be a second child with the same name), and Nicholas Lawrence. I'm keen to hear more if you're related to this branch of the Fitzhenry clan.
