Family tree

Hugh Wilson - Dad's side

Direct ancestor (7 generations) 1762

If you're wondering why Luka looks Irish. On my Dad's fathers side comes a line of Irish men from County Down, North Ireland. A lot go by the name James or Hugh Wilson. As far back as I can see on the family tree in MyHeritage is 7 generations back born 1762.

James Wilson (born 1831) was the generation that moved from Ireland to Sydney and then Booral, NSW.

Patrick Duffy - Mum's side

Duffy's Forest

Duffys Forest is named after Patrick Duffy, who received a land grant there in 1857. He became a timber cutter and cleared a road through the bush to Cowan Creek, where he built a stone wharf for transporting timber. The wharf is still known as Duffys Wharf and the road is Duffys Track.[2]

Duffys Forest is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Duffys Forest is 28 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Northern Beaches Council. Duffys Forest is considered to be part of the Northern Beaches region and the Forest District.

Elvy Clegg - My Nanna

The leader newspaper - Liverpool 1947.

Little Elvy Clegg with her tiny fox terrier dressed as a baby and wheeled along in a pram drew sympathetic applause (she also got a first place blue ribbon later).
