Cousin Debbie FRANK says her Mum, Edna nee FLEMING, told her she would probably be related to half of Victoria through the FLEMING family.
I think she may have been right.
Our common great-great-grandfather, Willian Finlay/Finley FLEMING and his wife Ann Jane KNIGHT (above) had 13 children and many of those went on to have large families.
Ann Jane - (1853-1925) married Arthur THOMPSON and had 10 children
William James - (1855-1931) married Johanna FISHER and had 12 children.
Donald, my great grandfather - (1860-1921) married Margaret HART and had 11 children.
Alice - (1863-1944) married Thomas TUCKETT and had 7 children.
Finlay - (1864-1910) married Jessie SPLATT and had 9 children.
Moses - (1866-1939) married Mary HUGHS and had 9 children.
Matilda - (1870-1956) married Charles WORRALL and had 9 children.
John Knight - (1875-1954) married Margaret SPLATT and had 11 children.
Selina Maude - (1878-1952) married Samuel LAURENCE, they only had 2 children.
Ellen, Sarah, Ruth and Christina FLEMING all died in infancy.

Is there a Fleming male from this branch of the Fleming family willing to participate in our Fleming DNA project. We have 2 projects, a general Fleming Surname and also another for families from Scotland. Once Y tested (simple cheek swab) a participant can join both proects to compare with other Flemings from around the world. Most Fleming males are having the 67 y marker test. Other Fleming relatives and females can have the Family Finder test at FTDNA. As will bring up cousins connections recent and distant.
