About me:
My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships.
The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.

For the Tasker family, this photo (and those associated) are something of a mystery. Sarah (Bengough) Bowen Jones' second husband (after her first husband died) was David Jones (his first wife). Sarah and David had a daughter, Mary Ann Jones Tasker - my great grandmother.
There were several Bengough photos left to Mary Ann's daughter, Ethel, when Mary Ann died. Best as we can tell, the Bengough family lived in England (their roots are Welsh) and moved to Australia in the early 1900s. Mary Ann's eldest daughter, Connie (my grandmother) always wanted to go to Australia - and to meet those cousins. She often used to say that she had cousins in Australia but we knew nothing about them until we found the photos.
Sarah 'Sallie' Tasker was born in Pembroke Dock, Wales.
She was the daughter of George Tasker (1840-1905) and Ellen Marie Southwell (1842-1915).
Sallie had siblings George Henry Tasker, Ernest Tasker, Ellen 'Nellie' Tasker, Elizabeth Tasker, William Tasker, and Katherine 'Kate' Tasker.
A cousin of my grandmother, Connie Tasker Benning, this part of the Bengough family moved from Wales, then England and on to Perth Australia in 1914.
Clarice's mother, Ellen Tasker married William Bengough.
Ellen's Tasker's brother, William Tasker, married Mary Ann Jones
Mary Ann Jones Tasker was the cousin of William Bengough, Clarice's father.

Clarice (Bengough) Fleay was born to William Bengough and Ellen Tasker. She had older siblings William, Ellen and Gladys Bengough. She was married in Perth, Western Australia, in 1927.
