Guy also mentions a tree on Ancestry World tree's II have not looked at this because I do not have access to Ancestry, Apparently the contact name for the tree was Ronald Hainsworth, but apparently he is not related but had done the work for someone else - no name given.

Guy says that there is a Byers Tree on Ancestry world trees - the contact a Ronald Hainsworth who apparently has done the work for somebody else - name not given. I am not a member of Ancestry so have no contact - Guy came to me as I have Duxons on tree in ancestry.

ooPS. Thought I had cancelled the the first one

Found the mention of 14 Little Walker Street North Sydney -

Edward Byers lived here with Susannah nee McCulgan - he obtained a grant for a quarry at Milsons Point and supplied the stone for some of the Government buildings, portion of the masonry at Admiralty House being supplied by him.
HE LOST IT ALL GAMBLING.

I reckon there was a mistake with the name Burgess. I have seen this a couple of times on other branches of my tree.

I mentioned John Byers and Amelia - must be before Edward - not sure where they come in the line.

I have birth records from Australia for
Robert Howard Byers senior =
born 8th December 1853 NSW = died 15th Feb., 1933.

Robert Howard Byers Junior =
born l882 NSW = died 2nd Nov., 1944.

Would like to make a connection with Scotland - but not sure................
Could the "british subject" line be connected further back than parents. Maybe gt.grandparents. just thinking out loud....................not sure if any of this actually makes sense.

Hello again,
I have to thank you for the Marriage Certificate which turns out to be correct as Gary has confirmed that Andrew's father Robert was a Fireman on the Manly Steam Ferries in Sydney. Did not think of this type of Fireman! I cannot remember who actually sent that to me now but a big thank you for all that digging plus the information abt. soldier records.
