Hi Graham

Unfortunately, I only have information on the Garnseys on a hard copy family tree which, typically, I cannot find at the moment! If you can give me a couple of weeks, I can dig this out and give you a gedcom document or pdf.

From what I can remember, you have it right regarding the children. Caroline had no issue and Agnes (d. 1927) had one son, Colonel Charles Edward de Lisle Solbe, b.1865.

Charles Frederick had, I think, 9 children who survived into adulthood.

I think that the other children all died in infancy.

Charles apparently emmigrated to Australia following an argument with his uncle, William Ody Hare, to whom, I think he was articled at the time.

Heather may already have tokd you all of this; there is quite a bit of information in Australia regarding the Garnsey offspring of C F Garnsey, mainly as his Grandson became Bishop of Gippsland, and one of his sons played cricket for Australia. There is some interesting family history in Bishop David Arthur Garnsey's book "A Man for Truth and Freedom", which you may be able to obtain her (Abe books are generally pretty good).

I don't think that I have seen the report of T R Garnsey's funeral; would you please email me a copy at matthew952001@yahoo.com? I have seen his grave in Arnos Vale as he is buried together with his wife and W O Hare.

I'll certainly let you have copies of anything I find.

Regards

Matthew
