Charles John is not my direct ancestor, but the older brother of my ancestor. I corresponded for a while with someone in Australia who was descended from Charles John. She filled in some of the details for me, and I was able to transcribe a couple of letters from relatives for her.
Charles John emigrated to Australia sometime around 1847 and married Mary Clerk when she was only 15 years old in Kilmore, 9 Feb 1851. Mary died in 1869 of diptheria.
They had:
John Dickins, born 1852, died of a fever 1886.
his son, Alfred Sydney Dickins, was married and living in Euroa in Annie's letter to the UK which I will type up elsewhere.
Margaret, born 1854
Anne Francis, later Mrs Robert White
Mary, born 1859
Charles Frederick Dickins born 1860
Louisa Harriet born 1861
James Duncan b1865, died of diptheria 1869
Sarah Elizabeth b1867

We are descendents of Charles Dickens and his son William Mckellar Dickens, born 1870 according to our records in Mansfield Victoria. We presume this is the same William McKellar you have listed born 1863. Our copy of the marriage certificate places him at 35 years old in 1905. He married Jemima Hannah Oscroft and their children were William, Ralph, Mary, Robert, Caroline Emma, Betty, Lola, and James. Caroline Emma had an Auntie Annie White who we think might be the daughter of Annie Dickens White (Mrs. Robert White that you refer to). Caroline Emma's cousin was Clifford White. The William McKellar Dickens in our line was born in Mansfield Vict. and buried in Hay, NSW. We have seen in another blog William Mckellar Dickins listed as a child of Charles John Dickins. We show that William McKellar Dickens also had a previous wife and 3 children before these children listed above that we don't have information on. The 1905 marriage was a second marriage.
