Hi,my name is Geoffrey Cousens,I live in Melbourne Australia. My Great Grand Mother was Ida May Whitney,daughter of Clark J.Whitney. You will find Clark on P.399 of Whitney geneology,of which I have a copy given to my grandmother in 1946 by Ida May. My lineage is: John and Elenor Deacon Joshua Cornilius Joshua. Joshua Willard.W. Clark.J. Ida May. Helena Holmes;married General Walter Cass,Australian Army in 1917. Angela Levaunte Hutchinson Cass;[only child]married Timothy Herbet Eric Cousens in 1953. Geoffrey Richard Alan Timothy Cousens,born 1959 and Diana Evelyn Anne Cousens born 1961. My grand mother died in 1968.She had two strokes in rapid sucsession.She was 78. I have two children to two different mothers,John W.R. Cousens who is 14 and Morgan Jenkins,a girl,who is 11.Morgan's mother and I are still together. My mother died of complications arising from breast cancer in January 2002. Melbourne is a great city,I grew up in South Yarra,one of the top two suburbs in Melbourne,in a large,stately home bought by my grandparents in 1921.Dad migrated out here after meeting mum at the end of W.W.2. My maternal grandmother was widowed in 1931,Walter died of apendisisis,complications during surgery.He had survived the Boer war and almost every confrontation of W.W.1 He was shot twice during the Gallipoli campain,so during the apendectemy they tried to fix up old injuries and failed. Mother was Australia's first female barrister,dad was 'the voice of Australia' on the A.B.C. radio.
