I am seeking help in finding photos of Andrew Cunningham and his wife Isabella Bowers. Andrew was born in Montrose on 12/4/1831 to Andrew and Martha Cunningham nee McNeill. He had older siblings, William, Margaret, George (died as an infant) and a younger sister Amelia. After settling in Australia, Andrew became a photographer of note in the Armidale area. He was a travelling photograher who moved around northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, often using his children as assistants. His most noted work includes his post-mortem shots of the notorious bushranger Captain Thunderbolt aka Frederick Ward and some photos taken the following day of the re-enactment of Ward's capture. Andrew and his wife Isabella had eight children: Andrew Peter, Eliza Rebecca, Mary Anne, William George, Blanche, Isabella, Sarah Margaret and Edith Marion Cunningham. I would love to have photos of both Andrew and Isabella, any of Andrew's work and also any of his children.

I am seeking information/photos from anyone who may be a descendant of Jonathan Brand born 1834 in Barrow, Suffolk. Jonathan was the elder of two sons of Francis and Mary Ann Brand nee Clark (married 5/1/1833 in Barrow). The other brother was James (born 1836).

Jonathan came to Australia on the Ellenborough in 1854 and settled firstly in the Hunter Valley (Maitland & Singleton) and then Tamworth. His wife was Mary Hicks who was born on 7/9/1939 at Croydon, Surrey. They married at St Mark's, Hexham, NSW on 22/7/1856.

Jonathan and Mary had 12 children: Mary Priscilla, Elizabeth, John, Emma Maria, Harriet, James, Hannah, William Ernest Saul, Arthur Francis, Ellen Louisa May and Emily Arletta Agnes. Jonathan died on 1/5/1885 at Tamworth and Mary passed away at Tintinhull near Tamworth on 18/3/1929.

Any help would assist me as I am writing a book on the lives of Jonathan & Mary Brand from their time in England to the adventures in Australia. Mary also lived with her parents and sisters in Pointoise, Paris during the 1840s for about three years while her father worked as a labourer on the rail line heading north out of Paris.
