William Holland and Emma Hirst - Crewe
Looking for descendants of William Holland and Emma Hirst - Coppenhall. My grandfather Charles Holland was born in Crewe in 1889 at 40 Maw Green Rd, Church Coppenhall, 1 of 9 children. His father was William Holland b c 1852 and mother Emma Hirst b 14.06.1854. Charles came to Western Australia in the early 1900's, enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces in 1915 and fought in France. His enlistment papers note his father William as next of kin, living at 46 Queen St, Crewe in 1915, and then his sister Annie Capper (I think Mrs Wil Capper), of 46 Queen St, Crewe in 1917. Charles married Jane Barnes or Thompson, or Thompson-Barnes (I am not sure which surname she used as her maiden name) in Bunbury Parish Church in 1919, and returned to Australia to farm and live in Narrogin, Western Australia where he died in 1968. Charles and Jane had two children Betty Eileen and Frank (Francis Henry) my father.
Charles’s siblings were: Jack/John (b. 1878), William (b. 1882), Harry/Henry (b. 1883), Peter (b. 1885), Emma b. 1887), Mary Elizabeth/Polly (b. ?1888), James (b. 1891 who also came to Western Australia), and Annie (b. 1894) (Capper)
I am doing my family tree, and would like to contact anyone who might help.

Looking for Roots - Devonshire Park
I have recently begun a search for "The Cousens Family" in an attempt to trace my family roots back as far as may be possible. I found your name on an internet search and thought I'd bother you to ask if possibly we may be relatives! My roots also trace back to prince Edward Island.
My Father is George Chauncey Cousens, formally of Waltham, Massachusetts. George Cousens father was Doctor Nicholas William Cousens, born on a farm just outside of Charlotterown, Prince Edward Island. Nicholas Cousens was one of a large family. The only name I have of his siblings is Samuel Cousens who lived all his life on the farm in PEI. Samual died some time around the late 1950's.
Would it be possible that you would have any reference to the Cousens of Charlottetown PEI?
I'd love to hear from you if you could spare a moment to return a note!
