Hello List I hope you don't laugh at this request but... My mother recently gave me a photograph taken on either VE Day or VJ Day 1945 in Sydney. Among the celebrating crowds is my laughing grandmother. Here's the long shot...... It had to be in Sydney because my grandmother worked at Mark Foys and we think it must be nearby. It's taken outside a big old church with columns at the steps. Outside the church is a notice for an organ recital, but can't read the date or place. On a side wall is an old wooden notice board with a triangular top, and underneath in minute print looks to be the ministers name (unreadable of course) and information about service times. Looking up the street is a covered walkway over some shops. One of the shops has an obscured sign that says "?monds" (which I guess to be Symonds) I'm hoping this might job someone's memory. Unfortunately I can't ask my grandmother. Alison

Hello Alison, Is it possible for you to scan your photograph? I have found out the most unexpected information by scanning old photos at about 600dpi and looking at them then. Things like the prints of dresses, names of shops over the road, all sorts of details. Usually old photos have a lot more information in them than we can detect. Even very faded ones can often yield a lot more than we anticipate. (The same can't be said for the modern minilab ones - what you see is what you get in them!)

I am seeking contact with the family or friends of William Jack and Irene Mary Taylor, formerly of LEETON in NSW in the 1950's, and their daughter Denise, many thanks Jenny Fawcett

Dear List Apparently a virus entered my address book and may have corrupted my files. I would not normally sent attachments to the list, so don't open any attachments from me. Sincere apologies Alison Briggs

Eva Bennett was my grandmother. She Died in 1940, Crows Nest, Sydney. Her mother was Ann Conroy who married William Reynolds ...... am trying to find information on any of the above names. Ann Hook Warrah@bigpond.com

Hi List I am researching the name LEWTAS, any help greatly received. Regards Frank

He is allegedly buried about 200 metres from my house. Do you have a picture of his grave ? Sorry I know nothing about his children. I would imagine there is more than 1 biography of Hughes as he is one of Australia's more notable politicians and was in public life for more than 50 years. You can confirm birth of Lily and Dorothea at www.bdm.nsw.gov.au Lily C Hughes child of William and Elizabeth died 1893 ( could be a different person ). Dorothea E Hughes appears to have married Victor Smyth in 1930. I am a relative of Presidents Bush, Bush and Washington. So there !
