Hi Pat
None of your names tie up with my names. However, Haverhill and Bumpstead where Edward
Challis was born is only about 4 miles so I feel there must be some connection, Challis is
not a particularly common name. I only live about 15 miles from Haverhill so if you ever
need anyone to look at parish records or local library, please don't hesitate to ask.
I know how difficult it must be trying to research from Australia. Besides, some of my
father's family emigrated to Australia and I might need to ask a favour in return!
LOL
Best of luck
Marilyn
