Comments
I am also researchin the Somers, Davis family as my husband is also a direct descendant of Francis Somers who was born in 1863. I have sent you a PM but think I may have (finally) identified just WHO Ann's parents actually were. If you have too we can compare if not we can share (and discuss).

All I can help you with is the following:
Patricia Shila 1924 to 1992 married Vivian Malcolm Kingston 1921 to 1981
Rosina born 1875 married Jacob Radford born 1868
Hi Cynthia, Your connection would be very much appreciated. I have a copy of her pic, thank you. I can send you a copy of my info but it will take a couple of days all of my info is on an old computer. Would you be able to send me your postal address so I can send it to you, please. Your help is very much appreciated.
Hi kingo, Thank you for the reply. I hope that your research leads to something interesting. I don't know what you are after in regards to your info but there are Kington's in Queenstown, Tas but I don't know who would be able to help you. Regards karen
Thanks very much, I have all the ones from Quenstown and most of the other, just looking for stragglers.... I have 3,347 names on my family history to date. I am now 77 so wont be able to go much longer
Hi Kingo ... you are doing quite well for a person who is over 70, hopefully when you have retired from searching there will be someone there to take over from you. Regards Karen
aS YOU KNOW, most taswegians are interrelated, I have found this out more so since doing the family history. By the way I was a bit short on my family tree, it is 31,347 names I have, but I have gone out on all limbs.....Kingston, Rollins, Brown,Meredith, Worsley, Richardson, Batchelor,Clifford, Woolley, Reardon, Allanby just to name a few
