Sam R and Agnes (Logan) Roy and family

Featured Most Wanted:
Samuel Tyssen Royes appeared before the Sydney Court of Petty Sessions on 20th October 1831. He had references dated August 1829 both of which describe him as "visiting" Australia to make his fortune. We can assume that Sam arrived in 1829-1830 - before his three siblings migrated in the late 1830s. But where did he go after 1831? See the notes under Most Wanted.

Featured History:
Barton Court, Canterbury owned by the Hougham family from 1657 until 1902. But it's origins go back to 605 CE.

Featured Chart:
A "Comparative Chart" shows how the Houghams link back to the Dukes of Normandy, and then how the Dukes of Normandy link into the British Royal line.

Featured Report:
People in the family tree who have received Military Service Awards, including one Victoria Cross award.
