This year I have decided to take part in Amy Johnson Crow's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks blogging prompts.
The theme for Week 4 (Jan. 22-28) is: I'd Like to Meet.
This weeks' theme was a difficult one for me as I was unsure which ancestor to chose.
I decided to choose my great-great grandfather Peter Fullerton, because I would like to know the answers to a few questions about his family and he would probably be able to tell me those answers.
I'd like to meet my great-great grandfather Peter Fullerton so that I could ask him these questions:
- Where and when were his parents William Fullerton and Mary Dunne born?
- Who were his grandparents? Was his paternal grandfather Peter Folliard from Naas, Kildare?
- Why did his father William appear to change his name to Fullerton when he immigrated to Australia?
- Did his parents have any other relatives living in Australia?
- Why did his parents decide to immigrate to Australia?
- Where does the Spanish ancestry story come from? Is there any grain of truth in the story?
- Is there any truth in the story that he was going to go on the Burke and Wills Expedition but did not go?
- What did he and his father do in New Zealand in 1863? Did they find any gold?
- What were his experiences droving cattle with his brother James?
- Was his father ever involved in the droving?
- Who did they work for droving cattle?
- What stock routes did they follow?
- Why did his father leave the property at Elphinstone?
- What plans did his father have for the properties he owned in Richmond?
- Where was his brother Thomas buried when Thomas died in 1865?
- Where is the gravesite of his mother Mary (Dunne) Fullerton at the Castlemaine Cemetery?
- Where is the gravesite of his father William Fullerton at the Inglewood Cemetery?
- What information about his brother James did he hear in Victoria after James died in Queensland in 1889?
