It was good to hear from Brian Dennis, a great grandson of the George Dennis who lived for many years at Maxwell St, Wellington, NSW.
As a child, Brian lived for some years in the Wellington house which had once belonged to George, the house nostalgically named 'Penzance'. Two of George's younger siblings were also homesick for Cornwall. His brother James Dennis named his house at Bondi as 'St Levan', and his sister Jane Williams named her house at Hurstville as 'Penzance'. Does anyone know whether the other five siblings named their houses in this way?
If there are any other descendants of George Dennis (1850-1930) out there, I'd love to hear from them.
Read the complete story of the Dennis family in 'From Buryan to Bondi', available online at BookPOD.
