Dear Colin - I've just come across your family history site, because of the inclusion of Esther Rashleigh nee Little. I am descended from Esther's sister, Anne, who married Thomas Gibson and settled at Goondiwindi.

We have not got very far, to date, in following up Anne and Esther's ancestors. From her death certificate (and those of her sisters) her mother's name was Anne Hunter, born in Newcastle. I'd be very interested to know any further information you've been able to unearth on the ancestry of Anne Hunter (and on any of Esther's other relatives - other than that her two sisters both came to Australia and her youngest brother died in childhood, I know very little about her siblings other than what is in Census records and postal/business directories). I am happy to exchange what information I have.

When I started tracing the family history some time ago I corresponded with several of the Rashleigh descendents in Qld but we lost touch over the years.
