Hi Marie nice to see you, in a manner of speaking! Did I send you the descendancy chart I have for Edward Davis? (It gets more involved) One of his daughters, Eva, married a Leo L. Pickett. The NSW Post Office Directory for 1912 lists Leo L. Pickett and Chas E Pickett living at Nambucca Heads. Do you have anything on these two? I had forgotten that your ggrandmother was Susannah Pickett. One of Eva's descendants has been in touch, through Gwen - have you been in touch with her? I work in spurts - at the moment family history is losing out to work and spring gardening. I built a new house (my very first, due to unfortunate choice of partners :) three years ago and have had a very limited budget for all the extras ever since. Finally got side fences, so went berserk this spring establishing trees shrubs and new garden beds. We have a very hot dry summer so the window of opportunity is nearly shut now until autumn. -----Original Message----- From: MBRiley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 8 November 2000 20:46 To: [email protected] Subject: Cook, Davis, Humphreys, McCristal, O'Leary,Pickett Researching, 1.
