Reseigh family from Cornwall
Hello, from rainy Sheffield Yorkshire England! I'm attempting to trace Thomas Harvey Reseigh and his wife Frances Sarah Reseigh. Also Thomas' brother and family - James and Elizabeth Mary Reseigh and their daughter Alice Louisa Reseigh. From what I can gather they emigrated to South Australia from England - James doesn't appear in the English Census after 1871 and Thomas appears in 1881 but not after that. The brothers originate from Paul, Cornwall and the girls where born in - Frances in Limehouse and Elizabeth in Chatham Kent. I would dearly like to find them! Seems like a black hole at the moment!
Regards
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn
Have you had a look at the Trove Australia site? There are lots of references to Reseigh families.
Looks like Alice Louisa was a teacher - there are quite a few references to her.

There's a Thomas Reseigh, along with his wife, Bessie, buried in Reefton Suburban Cemetery in Reefton, West Coast, New Zealand. Perhaps Thomas moved from Australia to NZ.
