Searching for members of my family (maternal) from England, they lived in Sussex, Kent and Southampton. They were members of the Freemasons, and most of the Packer family are buried at Camp Hill Cemetry, Freemasons Plots

Great-Great Grandfather 1829-1901 Member of Sussex Lodge # 6,Freemason, and the Halifax Freemasons

Sons, Richard, John, Arthur, Edward, and daughter Mary Elizabeth

Great Grandfather John, Shipwright cabinet maker

Sons Arthur, Edward, Henry, Richard, William, and daughter Mary (Mae)

Grandfather Arthur,1890-1952 Cabinet Maker, Sapper WW1
Children, Gwendolyn, Catharine, George. Arthur's.. Wife Madeline Christopher, Salmoniere, Newfoundland.

Children of George, David and Susan

The orginal family came to Halifax in 1800 and owned Packer Shipwrights, given land by King's Grant on Barrington Street, formerly Pleasant Street. The Freemason's building still stands on what was their land....1800.


Trying to find out the name of my great-great-great grandfather and his wife. The only known connection is that there were relatives in Kent, a Louise Packer who was not married at the end of WW1.
