It's possible that Mary (Whitfield) Armstrong b 1858  is a daughter of
Edward's.  See letters to and from from Alan Wright.  (however she does
not fit into list of children given above, so this possibility is suspect.)

1818-BAPTISM: 1813-1921 Baptisms at Allendale & Chapelry of
Ninebanks Parish Register which I copied  Sep 23, 1987 had only one
entry for this which read:  "April 5, 1818, Edward  [son of] John/Hannah
Whitfield, Harty Cleugh, miner.

Carol Minson's Comment:  There are 40, I repeat 40, Whitfield baptisms
in that ORIGINAL Ninebanks Parish Register  of 1813-1921, which I
copied  Sep 23, 1987.  Only 3 Whitfields were born at "Hearty Cleugh" and
only one of those Whitfields was named "Edward" (mentioned above.)

Allendale, and is north of "Blackcleugh" about 3/4ths of a mile,

1854-1858-BIOGRAPHY: from Dianne Hughes: "Edward. . .paid his own fare

in NBL until [June] 1858, when they also migrated to Australia.  . .
.Edward mined for gold on the Ballarat gold fields for awhile.  He moved
to the Creswick gold fields where he settled at Red Streak, North
Creswick, near the Australia mine where he worked as an engine man.
Another three children were born at North Creswick. . .     Edward and
Sarah with children John and Edward moved to select land on the Terrick
Terrick Plains, near Bendigo Victoria.. . .Some of the descendants of John

Dianne also sent a lovely religious poem (filed WHI0321) that Edward
had written to his wife from Liverpool when on his way to Australia in
1854. (It evidently was in Hannah Whitfield Hymers possession at one
time.)

include this Hannah) of the children of Edward and Sarah Whtifield to the
IGI, lives in New Zealand. ====================================

Letter from Dianne Hughes, 10 March 1992, "Tolloora" Kings court,
Teesdale, Vic 3328, Australia.
Hannah Coates and John whitfield were her 3rd great grandparents. Sarah
Chester and Edward Whitfield were her 2nd great grandparents. She said
(in May 15, 1992 letter) that "all of the children of Sarah and Edward
came from the family Bible.  There was never any mention of Thomas and
Sarah being twins."
She gives a listing of 8 children of Edward and Sarah(Chester) Whitfield
with full birth dates and birth places, 5 of which are in the IGI.  There is
a conflict with one of them, which I will note later. (This may be an IGI
mistake.) She also gives marriages for 7 of them and a death date for the
8th.  The death date would not be on the IGI, of course.

PICTURE OF HANNAH WHITFIELD HYMERS.  Dianne Hughes said:  "My mother
remembers Aunt Hannah well.  She used to visit them when they lived up
in NE of Victoria."  "She (Hannah) remained childless."

DEATH date and place: from Dianne Hughes' FGR sent to me on Apr 7,
1992.

MARRIAGE:  "Hannah m Thomas Hymers."  (That's not on NBL IGI)

Thomas WHITFIELD [Parents] was born 16 Jul 1847 in Broadlee, W. Allendale, Nbl, Eng. He died 24 Dec 1928 in Creswick, , Australia and was buried 26 Dec 1928 in Creswick, , Australia. Thomas married Grace Vingoe BOTTRELL on 17 Mar 1867 in Creswick, , Australia.

Here is one of the conflicts:

When I was at Ninebanks, West Allendale in 1987, I made a hand written
copy of the Whitfields from the "Parish register for 1813-1921."  Only
two of Edward and Sarah (Chester's) children were listed on that
register, which is unusual, considering the first four children were born
at Broad Lee.   Here is what I extracted:

Sep 7, 1849
Sarah, (d of) Edward and Sarah Whitfield (of) Broad Lee, miner.
and twin
Thomas, (s of) Edward and Sarah Whitfield (of) Broad Lee, miner.

Diane has listed the first four children as born at Broadlea, and the IGI
also lists those 4 children as born Broadlee.

However, there is a discrepancy  between the IGI, Diane's record and this
record I copied from the Ninebanks register regarding the birth dates of:
the twins, Thomas and Sarah and the next child, Leah.

It appears that the person who sent in those first 5 names to the IGI
lives in New Zealand.

grandfather.  She said in her May 15, 1992 Letter "all the children of

mention of Thomas and Sarah being twins."

She gives a listing of 8 children of Edward and Sarah(Chester) Whitfield
with full birth dates and birth places. The first 5 children are in the NBL
IGI.    (I've used the IGI date.)

She also gives marriages for 7 of the children and a death date for the

gotten this data from a Family Bible.
