New Zealand - Begg Family Part Two...

Well, it has been awhile but knowing where to begin on the numerous descendants of My Great Grand Uncle Thomas Cochrane Begg and his wife Elizabeth Thomson has taken me some time deciding where to begin . 

Fortunately for me this past week a relative through marriage contacted me from New Zealand and made it much easier.  So thanks to Mable and her years of research and 21 pages of...

  " From Brackley to Blue Spur" 

The Bloxhams of Roxburgh.  

So, how do we jump from "Begg" To "Bloxham" ?

This is Margaret Smith Thomson Begg  shown on the first post as a young girl. Fifth child and daughter of Thomas C. and Elizabeth B. N. Thomson Begg was born in Scotland in 1887 and died in Timaru in 1919.

Margaret married Stanley Ernest Bloxham on the 12 Feb 1914 in Timaru and they had one child William Ernest Bloxham born in 1915.

  Margaret passed away when her son was only 4 years old and I know very little about her.  Stanley went on to marry Margaret's younger sister Jane Marshall Crawford Begg and they had two sons.

I want to focus on Stanley more as his life story is of great interest to me after reading the Information Mable sent to me.  Stanley was one of eighteen children and the Uncle of my new friend Mabel.

But, yes! I think this story deserves it's own Post so more to come...
