BENSON family Patricks Plain NSW Australia
Dear FamilyTreeCircle members, Hi. In researching my CANTWELL * ancestors and descendants I sometimes do research when I have the time on the families that surround them in the hopes that I can get in touch with descendants that are genie buffs/family historians. Below are my details on the BENSON family, mostly researched freely online at The New South Wales Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Thomas BENSON born abt 1840 place unknown, married in 1863 at Maitland NSW to Catherine RYAN. {Source: NSW BDM Marriage Registration No. 2226/1863 BENSON, THOMAS and RYAN, CATHERINE at MAITLAND}.
Thomas and Catherine BENSON had 12 known children that I can find:-
1.Elizabeth E. BENSON born 1868 Patricks Plain NSW
2 possible marriages to grooms - Charles B. HENNINGHAM and/or a David A. DAGGAR according to the NSW BDM marriages online.
2.Bridget Ellen BENSON born 1869 Patricks Plain NSW
married James CANTWELL*. See individual journal.
3.John D. BENSON born 1871 Patricks Plain NSW married 1908 Quirindi NSW to Esther PEGLER. Corrected data @ 26 March 2008 as per comments below.

10.Frances J. BENSON born 1885 Patricks Plain NSW
married Dennis THOMPSON in 1906 at Kurri Kurri NSW
Note: All the above children were found listed as births to parents Thomas BENSON and Catherine. And these two children's names were found in the deaths search for all children that died with parents Thomas BENSON and Catherine.
11.Evelyn M. BENSON born possibly between 1863 and 1868 perhaps in State of Victoria. Died 1924 West Maitland NSW. Married Ralph HOWARTH in 1914 at Waverley NSW.

This a digitised version of an atlas and gazetteer of the German Empire from 1883. Something that might be useful is that churches are marked on the maps. An Atlas of the German Empire by Ludwig Ravenstein
Once you have found a place on this map that you are researching and if you are having trouble locating them on modern maps, try and overlay the maps onto Google Earth. This works well apparently. There are links for this at Atlas des Deutschen Reichs. At the bottom of this page is a link which has Google Earth placemarks of some towns - Marburg, Templin, Mindin. You may wish to view a place called Grunenplan, where Hermann WINDOLF was born. From Google Earth it's a small village surrounded by a large C shaped area of woods. Looks worth a visit!
Be careful of the size of the images, 8-10MB per map, and there are 9
maps. There are links for each map. So you don't have to download all of them. But it would be impossible over a dialup link.
Some interesting reading at this website on a ship on which Francis Xavier HAUCK came to Australia from Hamburg. Lots to look at on this site Freideburg.

VIPOND family NSW, Australia
Nicholas VIPOND born June 1861 Whitehaven, Cumbria, England married in 1885 at Patricks Plain, NSW Australia (Registration No.6960/1885) to Sarah Ann ELWEN born c1860, died 1928 Singleton NSW (Reg.No.14622/1928).

His parents names: Thomas VIPOND b1835 Alston, Cumbria, England and Mary Ann ANDERSON born 1841 Middleton, Durham, England.
Her parents names: John ELWEN and Elizabeth unknown.
In trying to stretch family tree out further by locating father of Nicholas VIPOND namely Thomas VIPOND, I experienced a bit of difficulty as follows, because there are two distinct separate families around about the same time, both with children named Thomas (sigh). And Lead Mining - what a dreadful occupation that must have been.

ENG->AUS: My WHEELER Family Tree 1772
An Index of the Poll of the Freedholders of Wiltshire, 1772
My tree starts of with a possible John or August WHEELER born c1755 Wiltshire England. Married unknown and had one known child: John WHEELER born 1776 Bremhill, North Wiltshire, England. (Birth details for John Wheeler 1776 estimated from 1841 Census).

2.Hannah WHEELER born 1819 Chippenham, North Wiltshire, England. It is supposed that Hannah WHEELER had an illegitimate daughter, namely Ann WHEELER born 1834 Pewsham, Wiltshire, christened 14 Feb 1836 Bremhill, Wiltshire (christening source: IGI). Hannah then married on 27 May 1841 at Chippenham, Wiltshire to William FORTUNE born 1826, christened 7 Jan 1827 Bremhill, Wiltshire, buried 6 Sep 1851 Derry Hill, Wiltshire, England. Groom's name and marriage details supplied by GenesReunited Member Sue Hatfield 20/04/2006.

NEXT GENERATION
John WHEELER born 1801 Bremhill, North Wiltshire, England married 14 Nov 1824 Westwood, Wiltshire, England to Ruth BANCROFT who was born either 1803 or 1806 Westwood, Wiltshire, England. {Marriage details confirmed by Parish Registry Lookup by a fellow rootschatter in August 2006 lookup request at Rootschat - Free Genealogy Research. It was by banns and witnesses were John Godwin Jnr and James Forsith}. This couple were my 4g grandparents.
More information on Ruth BANCROFT
In a lookup of the Westwood baptisms which are covered on the IGI by batch record C054811, There are only two Ruths in the period 1666-1876. One of them looks suspiciously like my Ruth, but with a different surname.
Ruth WILLSHER
chr 19 Aug 1804 Westwood Wiltshire
Father: Neamya WILLSHER
Mother: Sarah
Is it possible that Neamya died when Ruth was very young and that Sarah re-married (to a BANCROFT) hence the name change.
No baptism could be found for Ruth Bancroft in Westwood (or Winsley and Wingfield which are next door).
MISCELLANEOUS
There appears to be a few entries on the 1851 Census for WHEELER girls working as servants at Stowford Farm, Bradford on Avon, namely: Jane aged 14yrs domestic servant; Ann aged 16yrs servant born Westwood; and Charlotte WHEELER aged 25 yrs, servant born Westwood.
NEXT GENERATION
John WHEELER and Ruth BANCROFT had 8 known children:-
1.Matilda WHEELER christened 7 Aug 1826 Westwood
2.Martha WHEELER christened 7 Aug 1826 Westwood (it's possible they were twins, or just siblings baptised on the same day).
3.Simon WHEELER born 3 May 1829 Westwood, died aged 4yrs 11 May 1833 Westwood.
