Hickson Reunion 2019

What a great day we had on Saturday 12th October 2019 at The Tin Shed at Toolleen when we got together for lunch to celebrate 160 years since Lucy Mary Ann Aylett arrived in Australia. Edward George Hickson, who was to become her husband, arrived in 1860. Sadly, Ron Hickson, who is 101 years old and had been looking forward to joining us on the day, was unable to attend after being hospitalized with pneumonia. We wish him a speedy recovery. His younger sister, Annice Jensen (nee Hickson), cut the Anniversary cake with Graham Hickson who had traveled from Queensland for his first Reunion. There have been twelve Hickson family reunions, the first being held in 1984.

Hickson Family Reunion 2019

Our next Hickson Family Reunion will be held on Saturday 12th October 2019. We will be celebrating 160 years since Lucy Mary Ann Aylett and Edward George Hickson arrived in Australia. The couple married on February 10th 1879 at Toolleen and had 10 children. Their descendants are scattered across Australia and some live overseas.  The Tin Shed next to the Toolleen Hotel will be the venue for the Reunion which will begin at 11am and conclude at 5pm.
The oldest descendant of the family, Ron Hickson, who was 101 on April 13th 2019, will be in attendance and the newly restored Hickson Family Bible will be on display. Souvenir bags will be on sale for $10.
