My husband is a direct decent from the Mowbray family and his second name is Mowbray. His mother was a niece of the Stephenson family of Barnbougle property in Tasmania, and her Uncle was Horotia Jones who built the House of kerosene tins in Victoria mountains. She was his last living decendant. We will be visiting Scotland during May 2008, and hope to see a little of my husbands heritage.
