Australian Blackfords
Here is what I know and I would be grateful to anyone who could add to the knowledge.
Richard Blackford 1835-1901 married Elizabeth Blackford 1845-1911.
Richard's parents were Henry Blackford and Elizabeth?
Elizabeth's parents were Robert J Blackford and Rebecca Burke m.1844 Presb. Scots Ch. Sydney.
They had 13 children:-
Harriet Ann Blackford (b. 1862) m. Richard Jeffrey Inch
Rebecca Blackford m.1884 Henry Charles Stone
Richard Blackford (b.1866)m.1894 (Lithgow) Elizabeth NC Provan
Robert J Blackford (b.1868) m.1897 Elizabeth Morten
Dorothy Banes Blackford (b.1870)m. 1895 Charles F Drury
infant death 1872
Ann Sophia Blackford 1873-1873
Henry Albert blackford (b. 1875) m.1912 Annie V Cowell
Elizabeth E Blackford (b. 1877) m.1901 John T Morten
Susan Blackford 1881-1882
David Blackford (b. 1882) m. 1912 Harriet Yates
Thomas Blackford (b. 1886)
William Frederick Blackford (b. 1879) m. 1910 Jessie C Clarke
Harriet Ann Blackford was my Great Great Grandmother and I know her line.
I suppose the burning question is "Were they related closely before they were married??"
If anyone knows any other lines up or down please leave a message. Also if anyone knows the gravesites of any of this group please send me a message. If you want more detail, ditto.
