My Bishop Family Connection

My connection with the Bishop family comes through my great grandmother, Olive Jessie Bishop, the eldest of four daughters born to English-born Henry Bishop and his wife Bertha Hughan.
The photo above is of Henry Bishop, my great-great grandfather, taken in the 1860s after his arrival in Victoria in 1860 per the ship 'Orwell'. The two death certificates above the photo are those of Henry's paternal grandparents, Joseph Bishop and his wife Sarah Barnes Bishop.
In a situation similar to that with my Hughan family, I am very fortunate to have been handed down to me a wonderful old photo album from the 1860s that Henry Bishop bought with him from England. I will be featuring all of these beautiful old photos in this blog, which include not only members of the Bishop family, but also neighbours who lived in the same street as Henry and his family in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
I will begin with Henry Bishop's grandparents, Joseph Bishop and Sarah Barnes, both from the township of Whittlesey in Cambridge, and follow the line through their son William, his son Henry and Henry's daughter Olive Jessie who was born in Australia.
