In 1948, my Mother disappeared, leaving 5 children. I eventually found out that she was having an affair with a Gerald Sidney Floyd and, between them, they had one child, Gerald Michael Floyd. Gerald Michael Floyd would be now aged 49. Does anyone have access to phone lists for Australia? I am looking for Gerald Michael Floyd or my Mother. My Mother's birth name is RUBY EMMOTT,her married name is RUBY WARDLE, on GERALD MICHAEL FLOYD'S birth certificate the Mother's maiden name is given as RUBY BESSIE EMMOTT. I have searched all known records in UK and I now believe my Mother probably left England for Australia, with Gerald Michael Floyd during 1950/1955. Can anyone help me progress? I have been searching for 30 years, with the assistance of Salvation Army. Any help would be appreciated, Carol Ann Moan Cheshire England

Extract from the "Kiama Independent" of September 10th, 1895 The Fire at Mr. John Love's House Totally Destroyed Considerable sympathy will be felt by the residents of Kiama and the friends of Mr. John Love at the news that the residence of that gentleman, situated at Nether Vale on the Gerringong road, was entirely destroyed by fire on Saturday last. So rapidly did the devouring element spread that scarcely anything of value, with the exception of a piano, was saved from the wreck, as in fifteen minutes only from the time the fire was discovered the house and contents were a mass of smouldering ashes. On enquiry from the unfortunate proprietor, who bears his loss with a fitting resignation, we learn that the only theory which can be put forward as the cause of the outbreak is that a spark from the chimney, alighting upon the shingled roof - which latter, being very dry, ignited like matchwood - burned its way through to the top floor, and a quantity of light pine forming the inner lining of the roof afforded additional impetus to the flames, which when discovered had taken a firm hold of the top floor, and though the inmates, who were at dinner when the fire was first noticed, put forth every endeavour to suppress its onward march the flames steadily burnt their way into the lower apartments, which together with everything in the house, other than the piano and a few things from the lower front room, which were only saved after a deal of trouble and risk, were a seething mass of flames. Mr. Love, who happened to be returning home from Kiama at the time the fire broke forth, on seeing his house in flames at once hurried to the scene, but though he worked hard and endeavored to save as much as possible in conjunction with the many willing helpers, all attempts proved futile and a very much burnt and blistered arm is borne by the unfortunate proprietor as a gruesome souvenir of the occasion. The insurance amounts to 300 pounds on the house only, the furniture and effects being uninsured, and that amount will scarcely cover one-half the damage and loss occasioned. With the kindly assistance of those who hurried to the spot, among whom were Messrs. W. Weir, W. Cochrane, John Rankin, Arthur Grey, and others, the outbuildings were saved, although sparks from the house kept continually igniting the shingle roofing and other portions and had it not been for the protection afforded by several large trees at the rear of the burning building, and a continual stream of water kept going on the spots where danger threatened, together with the fortunate circumstance that no wind was blowing at the time, in all probability the loss would have been much greater. The family and inmates of the house were left entirely without clothing other than that in which they stood, so that with the combined loss of their home, the inconvenience arising cannot be over-estimated. Mr. Love wishes to convey thanks to those mentioned above and others for the valuable assistance rendered, and especially to Constable Coates, of Gerringong, whose labors in preventing further injury from the smouldering ruins. We, together with the many friends of Mr. John Love and family, extend a hearty sympathy. John Graham johngrah@ozemail.com.au GENEALOGY FROM GERRINGONG http://www.ozemail.com.au/~johngrah/

Hello John and List Would be interested to know if you have any details of the children in this family - I have some doubts as to just how numerous the children were. John Graham Sadly, there was no record of children numbers beside the petitioners' names. The school file at NSW Archives at The Rocks makes fascinating reading and this info. could be there. Next time I'm there I'll take a peek.

Hello All I have an interest in the above public school which operated at Robertson in the Southern Highlands from about 1881, on and off, until it was finally closed in 1910. Some of the petitioners who appealed to the government to establish the school in 1880 were: * James McBaron 4 children * James Weir 3 children * James A. Walsh 3 children * Thomas Anderson 3 Children * Thomas Carrick 5 children * William Walmsley 2 children * James Bell 2 children * John Humphrey 3 children In 1886 some parents petitioned the government to allow the school to be used for religious instruction on Sunday mornings: * William Herbert Couch * Thomas Carrick * James McBaron * James Nethery * Thomas Anderson * Thomas Jones If any of these names/places ring bells, I would be very pleased to hear from you. I have photocopied a number of documents from NSW Archives school file. Cheers Max Carrick www.Geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/3341

Hello Trying to fill in missing pieces of the life of JAMES BROGAN assigned c1831 Bungonia. In 1832 James's employer ROBERT SUTTER of Lumley signed a petition in support of James'family joining him in the Colony.This passage about James and family is from Letters from Irish Australia" by Professor Patrick O’Farrell."Other convicts- perhaps less sure of their persuasive powers, or less literate, or with more accommodating masters - got help from their employers. Robert Sutter of Lumley in the County of Argyle, Goulburn wrote on 10 November, 1834 on behalf of his servant James Brogan. He told Mrs Brogan …I consider that when you are (with your family) fortunate enough to reach this country you have every reason to expect that he will be able ( with the exertion of yourself and family) to maintain you respectably. Every person in this Colony who is honest, sober and industrious cannot fail to do well.Sutter also told Mrs Brogan that her husband had all the relevant permissions and instructed her in the formalities to be follow, He left the last page for Brogan himself to reply to a letter his wife had sent;…There is nothing in this world grieved me but the delay of you and family …my son Thomas cant come in the same ship with you for being of age and the best thing that can do is to go to the Captain of the ship and enter with him as a working hand if he dont engage with the Captain he is sure to come in the next meal ship that leaves Ireland. Brogan, had been literate but neither fluent of grammatical,Brogan had been transported in 1829. He had six children. His 35yr wife Ellen, together with 3 daughters and 1 son (the other 2 sons aged 20 and 18 left on a later ship) left Cork to join him on 22 October 1835 on the Roslin Castle" Any further information would be appreciated.

Hello everyone Firstly, thanks to everyone who participated in the browser survey. Your response and comments were both informative and appreciated, and sometimes amusing! The purpose of the survey was to gain some idea of what everyone is currently using to surf the web. When creating pages it can be difficult to determine exactly what features to include in order to best utilise the available technology in a way which will benefit the majority of users. Thus, the lowest common denominator is the real indicator. In general, most people are using versions of Netscape and IE of 4 or above. This has been of great help to me, and possibly others. I would like to repeat this again in a few months time with a more concise set of questions. Maybe Santa will have made some changes! Microsoft narrowly came in ahead of Netscape (a point which brings sorrow to me personally, but would please Mr Gates no end!) Netscape (22) 4.5 - 4 4.0x - 15 3.0x - 2 2 - 1 Internet Explorer (23) 5 - 2 4.0x - 15 3.0x - 5 not specified - 1 Some comments are also worth including (anonymously, of course) GFIOWW "Internet Explorer; although I am not totally impressed and would change to another if I knew it's system as well as the Gates Factory Imposed One With Windows." "I know it is sad for us, but we only use Netscape 2 ..." "I use the Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (VERSION 4.72.3110.8 and if you know what all those numbers mean you are certainly better than me)" - I have no ideal what those numbers mean "I use Netscape and not Micro$oft's Internet Extortioner" For those who are interested, I use Netscape Communicator 4.5 (included in the above count) Viv -- Vivienne Caldwell viv@zipworld.com.au vc04@uow.edu.au viv@wollongong.apana.org.au Wollongong NSW http://www.zip.com.au/~viv AUS-NSW-SE pages under construction at http://www.zip.com.au/~viv/aus-nsw-se.htm
