Hi Deirdre When you scan photos into your computer there should be a selection for the resolution. This is usually described as DPI or dots per inch. 100dpi will give a resolution that is about the same size as the original picture on your computer screen. So when you try & enlarge it just gets grainy. If you select 300dpi you can enlarge it about 3 times the original & start to see more detail. So if you go to 400 - 600 dpi you can get some real detail of the individual people. Some people don't like to scan this big as it takes up more computer space & it takes longer to send & receive by email. But I would prefer the detail, then waste computer space with something that is hard to see detail :-) You will probably have to go to the advanced section of your scanners settings when you start to do this, but it is not difficult to enter.

Hello Susie My Maternal Grandmother is a LOVELOCK :-) Yes I would love a copy of the pics please. Please in a high resolution, say 600dpi, so I can zoom in on individuals. I will do my best to identify them for you, but a few LOVELOCK's went to NZ. I do have contacts with a lot of LOVELOCK's here in Aust & NZ & back in UK.

After posting a notice for Oldfield Photo's I now find that they belong to the LOVELOCK Family. The Photo's are marked on the back as LOVELOCK Wedding - Queanbeyan 1958. ( Not Oldfield) Both these families are related to the AYLING Family, so if anyone would like copies of these can they please contact me. I would love to know who they are.

Dear Betty, You may find a record on www.naa.gov.au if she did go back to England. Sincerely, Bill > Hi Bob, No sorry I don't have a death for Anastasia > Harris. I have ordered a death cert. for William

Hi Betty I have 1834 as birth for William and he was born at West Dapto NSW. I also have Elizabeth, his sister born 1828 Wollongong. Big gaps in births is maybe due to the fact Joseph was running around the country with Captain Charles STURT exploring. I have read several articles about Joseph and the 39th Regiment of Foot. Very little appears about Anastasia. I have not got exact location for William's birth but it would be a fair bet it would have been at Stream Hill Farm West Dapto where Joseph got his 100 acre grant in 1832. Good talking to you.

Thanks for this Bill, Yes I have seen Walter's Probate Packet at the archives. He left his estate to two women, but non of the documents indicate their relationship to him. Just more clues and no answers. I live near the Kingswood archives and have spent a bit of time there. I didn't know about the railway cards though. I will check them out on my next visit.

Some documents record his parents as John Andrew Mulligan and Margaret Ellen Daly (no such people have been found in the NSW BDM indexes). The earliest record that we have of Walter is his military record. He enlisted for service in 1915 and gave his next of kin as Mrs E. Tozer friend, Goondah, NSW. He latter changed his NOK to his brother Thomas Mulligan, c/ PO Albury. He appears to have enlisted with 2 brothers named Lewis and Robert Finley. There are also numerous inconsistencies in the information that they gave on enlistment and it is suspected that they were all under age. Walter married Alice Mary Cooke in Murrumburrah in 1920. The witnesses were Phyllis Tozer (probably the daughter of Mrs E.Tozer) and Edward John Leary. Alice died in 1923 and their infant daughter was unofficially adopted by Ellen Gearin (nee Blake) of Cooma. Ellen apparently ran a boarding house or pub in Cooma and Walter is believed to have boarded with her before and after the war. Ellen also took in another child, Laura Mary Phillips, who was probably born in 1909 in or near Cooma. Laura may have had a sister named Kathleen. Walter died at Sutherland in 1960. His grave strongly suggests that he had a wife and children after Alice, but this is curiously not recorded on his death certificate.

Good morning all, Is anyone on the list searching the name HENNESSY ? I have a Richard HENNESSY - supposedly son of 'Maurice' HENNESSY, who had land near Bungendore. On Barry Stephenson's Cemetery list there is a Richard HENNESSY buried in the Catholic Section of Bungendore Cemetery 'died 28th March 1893, son of Maurice Hennessy.' There are also burials for: Mary G. Hennessy, died 1919, daughter of Richard and Ann; Anne K. Hennessey, 7th March 1929, died at Bungendore, 74 years, daughter of Mary A. and Henry; I have found a marriage between Maurice HENNESSY married Mary CONNORS in Sydney in 1863. This may be Richard's parents. If anyone has HENNESSY connections or may know more of this family through local Bungendore / Queanbeyan history, I would really appreciate your assistance. Thanks Jen

Thanks for your help, I will try that.
