Hello everyone,
I have just joined the subscriber list. I descend from a Benjamin
Cheeseman who was born in West Hythe in Kent in 1827 or 1828. He
married a Jane Bass in Dover on 3 December 1848. Jane was born in
Hythe also in 1827 or 1828. Her parents were Thomas and probably
Frances Bass, Benjamin's father was John Cheeseman. Benjamin and Jane
had three children: Alfred John (born in Lympne on 9 Mar 1849),
Herbert William (Hythe, 5 Jan 1851) and Frances Mary "Annie" (Hythe,
13 Dec 1852).
In 1853, the family sailed from England to Australia on the CALLIOPE.
They took with them a Thomas George Cheeseman (aged 7) who was either
an illegitimate son or a nephew. The family eventually settled in the
Beaufort district in central Victoria.
I would be delighted to hear from anyone who is connected to Benjamin
or Jane or has information about their relatives and/or descendents.
For anyone interested, I would be more than happy to send you a copy
of the information I have put together on their lives and times in
Australia.
Regards
Graeme Cheeseman

I don't know of any connetion with them. My knowledge of my cheesemans is
limited.
My maternal grandmothers were Cheesemans., Sisters in fact.
I know their parents, grandparents and that' about it.
But would be glad to chat with a "distant" relative regarding a country to
which we have thought of moving.
Hope to hear from you again.
