Hi Nada
Looking for something else I discovered your postings of 2002 and 2003 on Rootsweb Ancestry.com and in the ‘Help Wanted’ pages (2003) of the website of the Ballarat Genealogical Society re the FLACK family and I note that Catherine Flack’s maiden-name was MOWBRAY. (I have today been unable to contact you through your 2003 email address.)
Do you know anything about the MOWBRAY side of this family, ie Catherine's ancestry and where they came from? Did they come from northern Ireland (where the spelling ‘Mowbray’ used to occur) or from Scotland where the ‘Moubray’ spelling was more common? Have you looked at the one-name listings for MOWBRAY and MOUBRAY? See mowbray@one-name.org managed by David MOWBRAY in England. People from different parts of the world contact David and get onto his and other Mowbrays’ mailings on Mowbray@yahoogroups.com
One pair of my great-great grandparents were William MOWBRAY (ca 1784 Ballintra, Co. Donegal, Ireland–1850 East Tamar, Tasmania, Australia) and his wife Euphemia MOWBRAY (née Teevan) (ca 1791 Co. Fermanagh, Ireland–1843 East Tamar, Tasmania, Australia), who emigrated with their family form Ballintra where they were farmers in 1843.
William’s MOWBRAY ancestors had come to Ballintra (as ‘Moubray’) from Ayr, Scotland in the early 1700s; the patriarch Robert MOUBRAY had lived in the Edinburgh region, where he had married Elizabeth Saers (Sawers) (from Ayr) in 1696. There were many related members of the MOWBRAY tribe in and near Ballintra in the early 1800s, but some emigrated to Canada and the USA early in the 19th century.
Is any of this familiar to you, Nada?
Best regards

PS One of my MOWBRAY third cousins here in Victoria is Russell MOUBRAY Hodge – any connection of yours?
