My partners ancestors are the Mackeson Family of the Hythe Brewery, his 5 x great grandfather was William Mackeson, whom, together with his brother Henry, acquired the Brewery in your lovely town of Hythe in 1801.

 During my journey of research, I have been unable to find any information on our William Mackeson, for his life and or his involvement with the Brewery.

 William's 2xgreats grandson Henry Charles Joseph Mackeson, immigrated to Australia in the early 1920's.Henry C J , had: 8 xChildren, 15 x g/child,21xg/gchild, & 3xgg g/child all living here in Australia.

 We are from NSW Australia and would love to hear from anyone that has any information on William Mackeson, and/or any of his descendants, especially his son, Henry Scrope Mackeson, any information on The Hythe Mackeson Brewery during the years of 1801-1920 especially to do with William.

 I thank you all for your time reading my request and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards

Pamela Griggs. NSW Australia.
