Walking in the footsteps of your ancestor

NSW

Family historians and fourth cousins, Stephen Gow and Barbara Gow (pictured) will present a talk, Walking in the footsteps of your ancestor, at the Hawkesbury Family History Group meeting next Wednesday, November 13th.

They will discuss their 2023 UK travels to places connected with their ancestor, William PT Gow, who was a pioneer of the Wilberforce area.

William came to NSW as a teenage convict, but his ability to read and write enabled him to turn his life around as one of the early public schoolmasters at the Macquarie Schoolhouse. Barbara and Stephen will share the highlights of walking in William’s footsteps.

This event is free and there is no need to book. If you are unable to attend in person, you can join by Zoom. To book for Zoom go to Eventbrite https://hawkesburylibrary.eventbrite.com/ or phone the Hawkesbury Library on 02 4560 4460.
