Earlier generations are documented in these web pages, commencing with Vyvyan (arrived Australia 1912), Doris and Basil. It is Basil (Arthur Frederick) d'Ernee and his grandfather Charles whom we have to thank for much of this information.

Michael's mother, the late Amy Mates-Nielsen, nee Hill,
and her parents (deceased 1964) Jack Hill and Doris d'Ernee,

Jillian, Peter and partner Dianne, and Alison & Christopher Knight who have three children Jessica, Angela and Mathew.
their parents: Joan Hyett (born 1923) married Donald Hugh Trethewey (born 1925) and her father
Claude Hyett (1886-1964) whose mother is
Elizabeth Barnes Newcombe (1860-1945) who married Barkly Hyett. Elizabeth is a daughter of
Ebenezer Prout Newcombe (1828-1901) who came to Australia in 1849 and hence the connection with Eliza Newcombe..
The highlights of these pages include a wonderful account of 18th century wild living by a centenarian.
