LONG Family in New Zealand

I have had contact with a relative who lives not far from me and am determined that (sometime) this year I am going to do a bit more about following this up and putting some more of the pieces of this family into place - wish me luck, we all know how fast time flies!

From Susan in Hereford, England

John Long and Eliza Francomb

Thomas Walter Long and Julia Evans

Albert born in 1861 in Reading - wife Mary Jane Clark They never left Swindon.

Francis (NZ) married Edith Mary (REDWARD)

Mabel Long born in 1895 in Swindon married Ernest Suddrick in 1915 and in 1920 they moved to Hereford.

(Una) was born here in 1922.

Una assumed that the family were all originally from Swindon. She had no idea that 3 of Mabel's uncles and her grandfather had emigrated to NZ.

(from Sue - My husband's maternal grandmother was Mabel Long born in 1895 in Swindon. So Frank and Edith were Mabel's aunt and uncle and Alan and Winnie her cousins.

Peter Long a descendant of Fred Long who emigrated to NZ in 1907.

We also know that Edward born in 1861 went to NZ but don't know when Edward or Frank left England).
