Getting Started - The Family

I guess its fair to say that I have fiddled around with this blog for long enough & its time I got down to the business of telling my grandfather's story. Yet it would also be fair to say that, as a person of somewhat elementary computer skills, some technical development was required. The reader may well consider that further development should be the order of the day. I agree! But it will be "on the job" training. At some point one must get on with telling the tale, and that point is now!


I should also mention that it was important to digitise and make available the collection of artifacts from the Hay Internment Camp. There has been a great deal of interest in these items for scholarly reasons and I was very pleased to make them available.


The Alcorn story, as far as Franklin is concerned, commences with one William Alcorn.


William Alcorn was probably an Irishman. We can say that because his son, Simon, was born in Ireland. William was probably married (one source identifies a possible wife called Mary), because that was the usual thing amongst his class. William probably had a number of children, since that was the usual consequence of limited birth control, no social services for the elderly and a potentially high attrition rate amongst children. William was also, probably, a Protestant, since we know his son Simon was. And that, my friends, brings us to Simon Alcorn, son of the aforementioned William, who should bare the full responsibility for this tale.


However, before we really begin, it would probably be helpful to know just where everyone fits in. In that context, I have included below such detail that I possess as to who begat (look it up!!) whom from Simon's Dad, William, to the newest amongst us (which was a close finish between Rowyn in Vernon, Canada and Bailey in Canberra, Australia).


When studying this decendant record there are four things you should note:


  1. Those who were born in Canada and emigrated to Queensland in 1869 are highlighted in red;

  2. The number next to each christian name relates to the generational position of that person from the William Alcorn in Generation 1, eg. the 7 next to my name - Laurence Geoffrey - denotes that I am 7 generations from our Irish relative;

  3. The full date of birth of living decendants has not been included as a protection against identity theft (can't trust anyone, these days!!).

  4. There are 143 individuals on this report, together with 52 surnames. Yet it is not complete! I know that some details are missing, particularly in living generations. Please send me your updated details and/or corrections to lauriefavelle1@bigpond.com and I will edit this page. Please note that I am maintaining a substantial family tree separate to this site and, as a result, would appreciate any details you care to send, such as career/education highlights, photographs (particularly of individuals), etc.

(NB:The next post will deal with Simon Alcorn's arrival in Canada in 1821.)

We commence with a list of surnames, followed by the Descendant Report. Please note that much of the work appearing in this report, particularly the early generations, was prepared for the Alcorn Reunion of 2002, with contributions from Jan Wegert, Coral Macdonald, Norma Alcorn, Perce Leivesley, Grace O'Donnell, Dorothy McPhee, Keith Wetzig, Desley Laidler, Glenys Powell, Marie Alcorn and Cathy Christiansen.

This is fabulous Laurie. Currently i am doing ancestry trees for our childrens 4 grandparents (McPherson/Jordan & Oates/Alcorn). You have done a lot of work and we appreciate it.

I am just beginning to research my family tree (grandmother's father's side). I noticed in your lists - the family name Dunn and also Harrisville. My great great grandfather was Robert Dunn the first settler in the Harrisville district - (he sailed from Cork in the early 1850s with brothers but I believe some of the family also went to Canada) he descended from a James & Catherine Dunn and his wife was Sarah Hawthorne. Wondered if there might be some connection. Di

Thank you so much for your hard work and diligence. Your research identified details for my Great Great Grandparents, specifically, Mary Gallinger (nee Alcorn). My name is Catherine Hewson (nee Grierson), my maternal Grandmother is Laura Gallinger. Your documentation was very helpful and took me into the next generation. Again my thanks,

This was really interesting, Laurie. I'm descended from George McKay & Johanna Gunn whose daughter Elizabeth married William Alcorn. Thank you.

Well done as usual Laurie. I notice you say early in Franklin's bio that "The Alcorn story, as far as Franklin is concerned, commences with one William Alcorn." Do you have a record of the three Alcorn brothers who migrated from Selkirk, Scotland to Northern Ireland during "The Plantations" in the 1660s, similar to the migration of the three Alcorn brothers from Lanark, Canada to the Fassifern Valley, Queensland around the 1860s?

Hi I am trying to find out more on DAVID HOGG ALCORN, specifically where he is buried (my 2nd Gr Grandfather)
Thanks

Hullo glen139.
I've only just noticed your request for more on DAVID HOGG ALCORN. I can't locate his resting place because I've put it in a safe place, and can't readily locate it. But, here is some more on DAVID HOGG ALCORN. He married Ann Gunn McKAY in Churchbank Presbyterian Church in the District of Fassifern in the Colony of Queensland 9 December 1879. He was 24 years of age. She was 19 Years of age. David was a "farmer". His property was called "Blantyre" after his wife's home in Scotland. He donated land to the colonial government to construct the railway station, also called "Blantyre". The rail line has now closed but used to take produce to the markets. The Fassifern Valley is also named after a place in Scotland. Quite an extensive Scottish influence in the District in those early settler days. There are a few Scottish Historical Societies in the Fassifern Valley which are listed on the web in order to promote Australian/Scottish history. Happy researching. Signed DJA III.

I have just found this very interesting Blogg (well done!) quite by accident when looking at information on my gg Grandfather, George Mackay. I'm related to the 'Alcorns' twice: through the Mackay line & the Abell line.

I came across your blog whilst searching for information on my grandfather Ebenezer Cyril Alcorn, brother of your grandfather.
I am very interested in the Alcorn family history.
I have been gathering information for Anzac day as my grandfather, 3 other brothers and a sister all went to war in WW1.
Mt Alford school are honouring Ebenezer, John and David who attended the school and whose names are on the memorial outside the school grounds.
Thankyou again for this interesting information.

Francine Hunt.

Very interesting read, thank you for providing me with some more family history, I attended an Alcorn family reunion many years ago in Boonah and had a great time catching up with distant relatives. I am the great grandson of ALEXANDER CLEVELAND ALCORN who married Emily Sarah Burns, I was fascinated to see both sides of my Great Grandparents family members on the Cenotaph in Boonah. Going by the information you have provided I'm very proud to say that we are up to generation 9, there are still bakers in our family as well, 3 uncles and 2 cousins.

Thanks for sharing your family history and filling in quite a few gaps

Came across your info today . I am the great granddaughter of Robert Alcorn and Margaret Boyd. I believe Robert was the fifth child of Simon Alcorn and Mary Dunn. He did not leave Canada . My grandfather William James Alcorn and his wife Annie Sophia Park left Lanark and raised their eight children in Saskatchewan Canada, I remember my dad, also William Alcorn telling me several of his great uncles were in Australia. I thought they had gone from Ireland to Australia.
I skimmed your article this p.m. but will read it in more detail this evening. We are experiencing re ord breaking cold temperatures so do not venture outside. Minus 31 degrees this morning. I am so thankful for a warm home.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Alcorn Craddock

Hi Laurie,
I have come across your blog today and found it very fascinating.
I am related to George McKay & Elizabeth McKay. My Great Great Grandfather James Mackay was a brother to George McKay.

I have been researching George McKay's son, Councillor Alexander John Tait Mackay and his five sons who were involved in WW1 and have come upon your blog by pure chance.

I see that Elizabeth McKay & William Alcorn had a very big family indeed.

Kind regards
Angus Mackay
