This site is about us. We hope you will find at least parts of it interesting.
We live approximately 8 kilometres from the centre of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. We have been married for thirty-three years and have two children, 25 and 27 years of age.
You could say we are somewhat average inner-urban Australians. Both of us see life as somewhat of a time of discovery. This site records some of the these discoveries.
Geoff's AncestorsMy Father's family came to Australia from England around 1840 and settled west of Goulburn, New South Wales in the Gunning, Jerrawa, Dalton area. Many of their descendants still live on the same properties. My father was raised at Rye Park, some 20 kilometres east of Boorowa, N.S.W. My mother's parents also migrated from England, they arrived in 1911 from Nottingham. Their surname was Bonsor. Lorraine's AncestorsMy paternal Great, Great, Grandfather and Grandmother both came to Australia from Kilkenny, Ireland. They were married after they arrived in St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney in 1855. We have not yet been able to establish where my father's other ancestors came from prior to landing in Australia. My mother's grand parents mostly were born in London, England.
