If you have come here from the link on my Brady Family Tree in Western Australia site then maybe you have information, stories or pictures that could help grow the tree and make it more useful for all that visit.
The Blog pages are here for you to have your say and along with the Facebook Page, allows me to post my roadblocks
Starting after the death of one of my grandmothers in July 1998 with my direct line, and with the help of over 900 submitters I have branched out by birth and marriage in all directions for all lines back as far as my direct line go and for all other lines back one generation before entering Australia. So the data is mostly linking to Early Western Australian family lines but has a lot of lines that came from the other Australian States to Western Australia.
To browse in silence is your choice but to actively submit updates, corrections and valued stories, pictures and additions, is my hope and everyone’s gain. If the information links to you in anyway then this is your family tree site as much as mine. Feel free to use the information – pictures – stories. But please try to submit as much as you take.
Happy Hunting,
Darryl Brady

Hi Darryl

Hi Darryl,
Just stumbled on your website and blog. John Scroggie and Margaret Prentice are my great-great-grandparents, on my mother’s side. One of their daughters, my great-grandmother, Ann Jane Scroggie was a sister to Elizabeth, born at sea (who, I believe, is your forebear). I am trying to find out as much as I can about John and Margaret (who hailed from Co. Armagh in Ireland) and migrated to Australia on the immigrant shop, The Chance, leaving Liverpool, England, in June 1857, arriving at Belfast (later named Port Fairy) on Victoria’s ‘shipwreck coast’ September 12. Elizabeth was born at some point during the voyage. John and Margaret and their infant daughter settled at Woodford, about nine miles north of Warrnambool, where the family grew to several more children (that included my great-grandmother Ann Jane). I am particularly interested to find out as much as possible about John and Margaret and their first-born, Elizabeth, your forebear. If you have any information or photographs I would be most grateful. I may have a photo from about 1906 with Margaret Scroggie and perhaps Elizabeth.
With kind regards, Maggie Combe (grew up in Melbourne but now live near Manly on Sydney’s northern beaches.)
Hi Maggie,
Thanks for the comment and extra information on your part of the tree.
May i suggest that you place a Visitor Comments at the bottom of John Scroggie’s page so others can see what information you are looking for.

Hi Darryl,
Thankyou for allowing the book by Eric Leslie Hansen to be available.. It is very interesting. Anders Knudsen Tailor born 1752 in Vejlby, Odense is linked in the people (siblings and his father) he names as “fadder” to the births of his children to Knud Andersen Tailor in Vejlby born circa 1725 and his wife Maren Laursdatter born c.1727. Anders birth is in 1753 in Asperup before his parents marriage in Vejlby, a sister Maren is also born in Asperup. That Anders has a brother Lars born 1766 in Vejlby, who is named as Fadder to the first Ane Marie daughter of Anders. I think that Lars is my ancestor – a “Lauritz” Knudsen, Carpenter born circa 1764. Lauritz turns up in Vonsild, Vejle being from Fyn. (In Vonsild all Lars in that era are Lauritz). In all of Denmark there is a small list of Lars Knudsens, not ‘Peder Hansen’- and being from Fyn narrows it … have you found any more since the book was written, of that ancestry?
Hi Janet, thanks for the comment and the extra info. Only some of the people from Eric’s work have been added to my tree as I only link into a small part.
I haven’t researched the area you are talking about.

My name is Brendan Eccles . I am grand son x5 to James and Sarah Morgan who settled in Allansford (Victoria)in the 1850’s and I have researched some of the family and noticed in a search details of a Vikings, Villains and Vagabonds book by Eric Hansen and I would appreciate being able to sight or buy a copy of this book to continue this endless search. I think I will end up with “war and peace” once finished. If I ever get it finished. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
HiDaryl my name is Brendan Xavier Kupsch. I am doing research on the Kupsch Family who emigrated from Prussia. Johann Christian was my great Grandfather. It was believed that three brothers arrived in Australia, including Johann I have recently found a second brother arrived and remained in Geelong. My mother always said that three brothers arrived in Australia. I am searching for the third brother who possibly either settled in South Australia or the wild west. Oh I do have a photo of Johann Christian Kupsch which I can send a copy if you would like.
Hi Brendan
I’m not directly related to the Kupsch line.
They married into my mothers Free side of the family and so link to cousins.
At this point I’m not researching the brothers but I would be interested in what you find and updating any errors in my data.

Darryl Brady
