My mother is Marion Flora Upston, born 12-6-29 and her brother Gordon Upston, aged 75 were brought up in the Midlands, UK. Thier father was Richard Upston. He had brothers who left for Australia around 1900's-i think! the family has completely lost touch with relatives in Australia, although I understand there are probably grand and great grand children by now. I can provide more info if needed. We would all like to trace our other relatives, partly out of curiosity and partly to see if any friendship could ensue. Please e-mail me at the above address.

Dear Wendy
I am also researching Upston's. Our family came from Attleborough, Norfolk.
Charles Upston married Sarah Page, they had five or six children. Charles and one child died in England. The children's name i have are Elenor, George, William, Sarah, Maryann,.
Charles died 3 Feb 1847 at Attleborough. Sarah remarried to her cousin William Page and imigrated to Australia, arriving in Tasmania 1 July 1857.
If you can help it would be great.

I am interested in your Upstons. I have a George Upston m. Eliza Pinner in 1891. They were my g.grandparents and I have little on this side of our family

Could someone contact me regarding Tasmanian Upstons please?

I am doing a one name study on the surnames UPSTON and UPSTONE, the names come from my fathers side of the family. Any info would be appreciated. Lynne

Hi,

I am travelling to Europe soon and I thought I'd try to trace some of the family history before and see what I can find out. I actually dont know that much about my family history, what information would you need first?

Hi

My great grandfather was Richard Ernest Upston born around 1861 (aged 27 at date of marriage - March 1888). Father's name Edward - farmer from Warwickshire. Richard Ernest - clerk - married Alice Jane Thompson at St Mary Magdelen Southwark Surrey - London. Lived in Peckham and Camberwell.

I have found a family Edward and Harriet Maria Davis at 9 Cornbury Road Deptford St Paul Kent on the 1881 census - but am not sure whether this was my grandfather's parents as the Richard here was aged 17 - born around 1864

Can you confirm or add anything to this line please.......

Hi Kristine,

A bit late in the day I realise, but I hadn't checked this website for a long time, and din't expect a response, so i was surprised when I came across your reply! Not sure if you are still in th UK! Anyway, did you manage to trace any further details about the Upstons? I know there are also some in Tasmania. Unfortunately, my uncle can't remember a great deal about who is who. Richard, was his father, and he had a brother, who went out to Australia just after the war. He didn't have children, but there were also their aunts, so my uncle's great aunts who went out. I'll try and get their names agian. Sory it sounds so vague. Does this connect up with anything you've got? It would be nice to hear from you again.

Wendy
