Hi Roger

I’ve just been looking at your Word Document. In it, you say that Henry’s mother was “Anne Harper Curtis”. In fact, her maiden name was Anna Maria Harper, married William Curtis. She died in Bathurst NSW in 1877 and is buried in the old Bathust cemetery.

In Australia, we don’t put the woman’s maiden name into her full name. Instead, we refer to her as Anna Maria Curtis nee Harper. The reason I mention this is that often women and men had their mother’s (or grandmother’s) maiden names as part of their christening name.
