Descendants of Richard Carpenter (1829-1907) and Jane Sewell nee Whittle 1822-1889)

Sandra Dunnachie - is also descended through Matilda Fritchley's 3rd marriage to Samuel Matthews via their daughter Florence.

Sandra is actively searching Fritchley's.

Fay Fraser - Is a Step Fritchley descendant.....How good are you? Did you figure that out?

Fay's G G Grandparents were James SAICH/SACH/SEACH & Winifred BURKE later FRITCHLEY. Which makes her a BURKE descendant.

Fay is interested in all descendants of both lines and like me would love to hear from anybody with connections. A list of Fay's surnames and a page to her branch of the family coming soon.

Fay now has her Family Tree on line!

  2. Ruby M Montgomery was adopted. Looking for her parents. She was born 1921 in Sydney. One of the people on family tree was a Goldie or Golden who married
    Emily Mary Russell. thought there could be a connection.

  3. Hi there,

    I am related to the Crafts through marriage. I am a descendant of the King and Connolly families, both of which married into the Crafts. Also, some of the King granddaughters married into your Crafts - they had surnames Wells, Finn, Fogg etc.

    I am happy to share, and owuld be particularly interested in contact with any of the descendants of John Richard Connolly and his wife Laura Craft, or Stephen Mark Connolly and his wife Alice Craft
