Hello
I am a direct descendent of Silas Dine too. He was my great-great grandfather (his daughter Rebecca Canavan nee Dine was my great grandmother; his grandaughter Essie Gibson nee Canavan was my grandmother.
We live not far from Dine Street Randwick which is named after Silas.
It would be good to know your lineage back to Silas Dine.
