AliceAnn on 2008-10-27 22:21:44Hi Shauna,
Thank you for your information I will get back to you as soon as I manage to get my Aunt Shirley to answer her phone, she is the last living relative on mums side, the youngest daughter of Alice Edith Cairns,from second marraige surname Dickens, need to clarify Grandads name, thought it was William John Cairns could be w
rong,We have the right family as Grandma Alice Edith Leer was born 13 7 1890. My mother was her eldest child Alice Maud Cairns born 29 8 1909 thats why I was named Alice first daughter of the first daughter went down for generations,finished with me I have 3 boy
Shauna are we related,
Hope to hear from you soon.
Alice Ann
quirk_cantwell on 2008-10-28 22:31:17Hi Alice Ann,
Yes we are related our great grandfathers would have been 1st cousins which makes us fourth cousins I think. Have you seen your grandfathers war records on the National Archives of Australia website. His service number is 4748. He enlisted in Lithgow.I have a lot more info on the Leers and a little on the Scaysbrooks. I will send you a personal message tomorrow.Did you see the post I put on John Scaysbrook and Maria Ferris? I could not find Alice Maud's birth so I am guessing she maybe changed her name from Alice Maria when she married.Thats if I am right?
Cheers cousin
Best wishes
Shauna
AliceAnn on 2008-10-30 06:34:56Hi Shauna
Good to know we are related. Could you back up a little and tell me, who is Alice Maria? This is wonderful to get all this information on Alice Maud Scaysbrook [my great grandmother] as I have a ring and bracelet that belonged to her, and as strange as it may sound I feel close to her, dont know why, she died before I was born.[weird].
No I havent seen the post on John and Maria yet also I havent seen grandads war records either, but I will, thanks to you.
Talk soon cousin
Alice Ann.
AliceAnn on 2008-10-30 06:44:30Hi Shauna

rpielli on 2010-12-14 01:31:41Hi Shauna,
I am also in Australia and a decendant of Dirk Frederick Klumper, the son of Sarah Mary Ann Leer & Charles Cornelius Klumper.
I am trying to trace the Klumper side, but can't get passed Charles Klumper's father Dirk and his marriage to Elizabeth Shephard in circa 1814.
Cheers,
Rebecca
quirk_cantwell on 2010-12-14 05:24:37Hi Rebecca,
I havent gone any further back on the Klumper side as it is not my line however, I will send you an email with what I have. I will try and contact a lady in Adelong who knows a Klumper descendant that may know more.
Cheers
Shauna
JHaste on 2021-07-14 06:23:19Hi AliceAnn
Just found this forum, do not know if you are still interested in the Leer side of the family. You were trying to get in contact with your Aunt Shirley, the problem is she is now is in a nursing home, if you would like to talk to her, you have to contact her daughter Lee Haste through facebook. Hope this gets to you. By the way Shirley is my husbands mother.
