Hi, Guess this is a bit of a long shot, but was wondering if anyone knows of a 'Lord and Lady ...........' who took up residence at Raymond Terrace around 1913-1915, presumably from County Durham, UK. According to family stories one of our relatives (who came from Co.Durham) was a servant to the couple over there, and accompanied them to Australia, in service. Unfortunately the person giving me the info couldn't recall their surname, but if they were well-known in the area, perhaps someone may know who they were. Thank you.

My Relative, Jesse Milton ALLBROOK sailed to Australia on 20 JUL 1871 on The LINCOLNSHIRE to Brisbane. In 1875 he had returned and he married Emily STEVENS on 4th September 1875 The family had a strong non conformist and probably Congregationalist involvement so I wonder if he was their as a “Missionary”. Also I wonder if his nephew who died in Charlestown went there through his involvement with the Church and thanks to you I now have his death certificate My queries are is: is there a source of information about passengers who returned to England in that time and secondly is there a Congregational resource I hope to hear from you Michael Allbrook Surrey England -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Hi Everyone I am seeking information on the Soper families as follows: 1. William Soper who married Louisa Rapsey in 1848 in the Hunter Valley area. They had several children and later moved to Sydney. Their daughter Bertha Louisa (and other childre) were born in Morpeth. 2. William Soper who emigrated to Australia from Dorset with his family. They arrived on the Emigrant in 1840 - his wife's name was Mary Ann Higgins. They settled in the Paterson area and more children were born in Australia. Are the above families connected? I am connected to both the above families and dont know if the two Soper families are connected. Jean Pritchard

It is always sad to hear about any of our old buildings being demolished. John Eliza ECKFORD were witnesses at my g.g.g.g.gramdmother, Lydia MATTHEWS wedding to John SHAW in 1832. Glynis Wheeler Blaxcell, NSW

Hi Allara, Thankyou for your reply - it would be great to get intouch with her - Alice was my Grandmother. Regards, Glynis

I have just found out that an application to demolish the former home of one of Maitland's earliest settlers has been put forward to Maitland City Council. The home is located at 36 Banks Street East Maitland. According to information from the National Trust Property Guide (2004) the first purchaser of this lot was Henry Rae, a saddler, in 1833. He erected a small house and shed. Rae become insolvent in 1844 and the property passed into other hands. In December 1853 the property was purchased by John Eckford for 1,120 pounds which strongly indicates that the two storey residence as it now exists was erected by then. John Eckford was the eldest son of William Eckford, the pilot of Newcastle Harbour. He was born at Parramatta in 1801 and began farming in the Maitland area in 1818 being one of the first eleven people allowed to settle in the area. "Brush Farm" at Pitnacree (between Maitland and Morpeth) was the name of John's property. Other members of the Eckford family followed John to the Maitland area. In 1828 John married Eliza Duff, sister of Ann Duff who married Samuel Clift, and they had nine children. John died in 1884 and is buried in the Eckford vault in Glebe cemetery. The Banks Street property remained in the Eckford family until 1958 when it was sold to the St Vincent de Paul Society for 3000 pounds. The building operated as the Matthew Talbot Hostel for destitute men for 40 years. The SVdeP Society sold the building in 1997 and the then owners sold it in about 2004. Little restoration work on the building is noticeable but I have been told that the current owner did receive grants for some heritage work. The building dates from pre 1853 and is an important link to Maitland's early history and as such should be preserved. Objections to the application close on Tuesday January 8th. I have contacted some Eckford descendants that I know and asked them if they could write an objection to the council. Other Eckford descendants may also like to write to Maitland City Council to object to the demolishing of the Banks Street residence.

Hi Glynis, I know of a lady living in Quirindi, whose maiden name is Miller. She would probably be in her 70's. She is my mother-in-laws aunt. I don't know if she is related, but I could give you her address to write to. Let me know.

Hi List, Interesting thread this. Most folk are under the impression that CDs and DVDs will last forever. Not true! Excepting physical damage (scratches etc.), these types of media are only good for approximately 10 years provided they are stored correctly when not in use. Obviously there are different grades of CD and DVD media that break down over different periods but 10 years is a reasonable average. Sunlight is the probably the most damaging and least obvious. Current copyright legislation allows for the registered owner of such material to make a (one) backup copy of the item. It is a good idea to use the backup copy and store the original in its case, out of direct sunlight and in a cool place (not a refrigerator). There are any number of insulated and light-proof storage cases on the market that can store 100's of CDs and/or DVDs that are very cheap. Once the backup copy starts to break down it can then be destroyed and another backup copy duplicated from the original. This does not contravene copyright legislation provided the backup copy is not sold, given or loaned to a third party.

Kathryn: Another thought regarding your email and the 1977 death entries. There are some birth entries that are post 1906 but they only list when you search for the year to 1906. We discovered this last year. These were amended births one was in 1894 the registry showed 2006. In this case transcription agents had access to them because they were originally registered prior to the restricted years. It may be the same with these 1977 deaths.....but you cannot tell until the registered entry is inspected.

Kathryn: It is strange that the district is not listed. It could just be a cliché in the system. Joy will be at the Registry this week and will check. Regards Allan Murrin We will be closed from 20 December to 10 January 2007.
