Catherine McHugo (Monty's father's cousin) CONT Her M 99th Regt. Took up land Augusta Rd Kangaroo Valley. Newtown. Hobart.

Newtown 1867 CONT Christopher Peter Newtown 25 Dec 1864 CONT CONT My Grandfather C Mckenna went to the Gold fields for a time, he brought back nuggets which later were stolen by the Aboriginies. He used to feed them when they came to the house. The women were afraid of them. CONT CONT Elizabeth m.

Of the boys, I think the people you met might have been Philip or Sydney Mckennas children, they could/would be Uncle Christs Gransons, hence the simalarity of christian names. CONT CONT Would be inclined to think (181) Land Grant would be an original and might be tracable Charles Mckenna Senior also took up land at Longbay/Gordon, it was a small holding. I remember spending time their with my Gramma Catherine Mckenna about 30 Mls down channel. Gramma was a very handsome superior type of LADY, with neatly golden hair, I do not know if they were maried in Ireland. Her brother Thomas McHugo married an English woman also. I think young Charles McKenna (wee) had they property eventually but he had no family so do not know, what became of it.

I have some information for you. Charles was born in Scotland in 1818. When I went to the Mormon church I did some checking up and was able to use the computer. They have a program called Family Search. Through that I was able to go into Family Link which is Tasmanian Families 1803-1899. I had a great time searching and came up with some interesting things. I am going back to recheck some stuff, that I missed and am hoping will fill in some blanks. Anyhow here is what eventuated. I will try and write as to what came up on the screen, with a added note also. CONT CONT Charles Mckenna B 1818 Scotland. No mention of his mother or father. CONT m. Catherine McHugo.
