Hello Elizabeth
My name is Michelle Linton, I have been tracing my family history for about 15 years now. My GGG Grandparents were William Hurford and Mary Ann Roberts. I found your website this morning and was very excited. I was actually looking up Brackley.

My GG Grandparents were Henry George Brackley and Mary Elizabeth Hurford. G Grandparents were Albert Henry Victor Brackley and Queenie Alice Maud Hughes. My grandparents were Leonard Victor Yates and Doris Brackley. My parents are Hedley Ellis and Grace Yates.
I visited the grave site of Henry George Brackley and Mary Elizabeth Hurford about 10 years ago. They are buried in the Tarnagulla cemetery.

I have attached the listing from the Index registrar of British assisted immigrants 1839-1871 for William and Mary Ann Hurford. I'm sure you already have this.

Do you have any photos you can email to me at all? I have one of Albert Henry Victor Brackley which I have attached. Info you may or may not have is William Hurford's parents William was born 1802 Willand Devon ENG and Charlotte Roberts born 1815 Stockleigh Devon ENG. Married 1835 Stockleigh Devon ENG. I have Mary Ann Robert's mother as Lydia MARSHALL, not Marsh. William Hurford and Mary Ann Roberts

Albert Henry Victor Brackley divorced Queenie Alice Maud Hughes around 1919-21 he then married Alma BECK in 1922. They had a son in 1922-23. Albert died in 1924. Alma (Beck) Brackley then married his brother William Walter Brackley who is mentioned on your website.

Any more information you may be able to give me would be a blessing.
Take care
Michelle Linton
