Hello Listers, I am still trying to find information on the Jackson family. Details as follows: John Jackson arrived on the "Burrell" as a convict. He married Susannah Hall, daughter of Thomas Hall "Ocean" and Mary Ann Brooks, free "Mary Ann". Their children include: Henry Jackson born 18.7.1836 who married Caroline Susannah Merrick 20.12.1860 at Wollombi John Jackson born 10.2.1838 who married Catherine Sweeney 25.8.1856 at West Maitland William Jackson born 7.1.1841 Sarah Jackson born 7.3.1842 I am trying to locate what happened to John and Catherine (dau of Thomas Sweeney and Mary Gillespie) Known children are: Mary Ann born 1.4.1857, baptised 22.4.1857 Susannah who died 3.12.1859 Susannah born 9.3.1862, baptised 24.4.1862. The West Maitland burial register mentions that the family were still living at Black Creek in 1862. In 1883 Mary Sweeney snr's death certificate mentions 7 children, two females deceased, could that include Catherine? I have identified 5 Sweeney siblings and am searching for the missing 2. I also have no for information on John and Henry Jackson's younger siblings, William and Sarah. Any help on the above would be gratefully appreciated. ANNE

Hi everyone, I have had a few private emails regarding no emails or digests over the past few days ... and I just have to say that no messages have been posted to the list for nearly a week, which I think is a first (!!) since we kicked off. As far as I can see, everyone is still subscribed, plus we have a number of new listers as well. I trust that the list will continue to be a useful discussion forum, but, like any list, it does depend on input from subscribers. Here's hoping .... Regards, Diane Admin

Hi Carolyn, Am just sorting out old emails, as the big family birthday bash was yesterday, and I can now relax a little. I have had 3 big projects on the go, 2 are over and done with. ie Quilt show 20 - 22 Sept, Dad's 80th birthday 6th October, Open weekend showing of next years quilt classes 2nd weekend in November. Have you been able to find out if John Hall and Bridget Sweeney had any children? Also At dad's party yesterday the wife of his first cousin David Snedden, is Judith, and she mentioned that she is tied to the Hall family, but doesn't know which one. I hope to get some details and fill you in.

A new genealogy group for genealogy research is now available. It is available thru yahoo groups. The address of the group's home page is http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/Gene_Aus/ . You will need to join yahoo first, to then join this group. The group was started less that 1 month ago and currently has 61 members. 100 messages have been posted to the group in less then 1 month.There are over 39 surnames recorded in the groups surname database. A group like yahoo groups, or MSM groups, has some advantages over mailing lists like this one. The advantages are as follows: *There is a no-mail facility. You can read emails from the group online on the main group page so that your email inbox is not clogged up. From this same main page, you can access all the features of the group, which is something you can not do from emails that are downloaded into your inbox. Of course you can also get digest and single mode emails from the group, if you wish. One of the benefits of having a no-mail facility and reading the emails through the group's main page is that you do not spend time and money downloading emails that are not of interest to you, and the risk of receiving a computer virus is minimised. * Groups have a chat facility within them where members can chat with other online members. This saves emailing back and forward when you have made contact with someone. Just arrange to chat with them at a set time and its real-time. It is hoped that this group will also have regular set chat topics where members can contribute and gain information from others. Real-time ! * Databases can be created within the group's main page. This group has a surname database for surname interests, where members can permanently log their surname interests for others to see. This saves you having to periodically send emails with your surname interests just to 'catch' new members. Any member can add a database within the group. * Groups have a bookmarks facility, whereby members can add links to websites that they have found interesting. How many times do you see people sending emails to a ,ailing list saying ".....I have lost the link to Australian and New Zealand passengers list page when my computer crashed - Does any one know the link?....." When you lose your own personal bookmarks, or just can't remember then, you can access the groups ones. * Groups allow you to upload files and photos, so you could upload a copy of your gedcom file (or any file) if you wanted to, for others to download. On one list I subscribe to some person had transcribed parts of a BDM register and posted it to the list for all to use if they wanted. It was posted in sections over 3 weeks. This meant that for 3 weeks the list had huge emails to download and view. It also meant that the person who had supplied the information had to physically send the various sections each day for 3 weeks. By using the files facility within the group, she could have uploaded the entire file in one hit and sent one email to group advising them that is was there. Those that were interested could access the file. A much better solution all 'round, I feel. Regards, MF

Dear Sharyn, The Magical Eye or Mechanical Eye is a book that lists photographers, where and when they operated. Could be worth a try if you don't get what you want from the list. Sincerely,Bill Sharyn Wright wrote: > Dear List > > I have a photo and the studio name on the bottom is either STAMP BROS or STAWP

Dear Sharyn, We had a look in - The Mechanical Eye in Australia photography 1841 to 1900 - by Alan Davies & Peter Stanbury, and there are no Stamp Bros or Stawp Bros names in West Maitland. The only entries are... Stamp & Allom, Qld in 1887 A F Stamp, Cairns Qld from 1888 - 1891 Albert T Stamp, Clermont Qld from 1896 - 1897 This book only covers up to 1900 and as the above references are up to 1897, one or both of these photographers MAY have moved to West Maitland from Qld after 1900. It was quite common for photographers to move around various districts and states. If all else fails a check through the newspapers of the times may reveal and advertisement or mention in the columns of say the Maitland Mercury newspaper, but first I would check with local history societies and libraries. An e-mail to Maitland Family History Circle may well assist. Hope this is of some assistance, Sharyn. Best wishes, Rod & Wendy Gow Sharyn Wright wrote: > Dear List > > I have a photo and the studio name on the bottom is either STAMP BROS or STAWP BROS of High Street West Maitland.

Afternoon all, Just a short email to advise everyone that there is a new virus, W32/Bugbear, doing the rounds at the moment, so I strongly suggest that ALL listers update their virus definitions ASAP ! As a general reminder, do not open any attachments - and keep in mind that the person you receive the message from may not neccessarily be infected as the 'from' header is often faked. More details can be found at : http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear@mm.html So please be aware ... and if we could keep discussion on the topic to a minimum, or not at all, on the list, that would be great :) The joys (and pitfalls) of modern technology !

Hi In the field can't be a place name as it is listed on quite a few enlistment forms for NSW and also Qld. It could be from a mobile enlistment centre. Best Wishes Janice W
