A grandson of the Tancocks, Dennis Hudd, lived in Western Australia in 1996 with his New Zealand wife Bobbie. Dennis’ mother, living in Cogan Wales (about 3 miles south of Cardiff) had been in contact with her Boyes cousins in Swansea, and said that there was another family of Boyes in Swansea. Dennis and Bobbie began researching their family history in 1987 when her grandmother asked if they could find a birth record in Victoria in the 1840s. Bobbie also has family links to Warwickshire with the following names in the Kenilworth area: Sutton, Webb, Ballard, Sheriff, Marriott. Dennis is being assisted in his research by a sister in Britain.
