Hi Laurel and listers, Thankyou for that, What I am actually doing is trying to see if their is any connection between him and an Alexander Anderson who was born in Nairn Scotland 1861, and was working as an Orchardist in Hornsby N.S.W. he was then employed by the Melanesian Mission to be a carpenter on Norfolk Island in the late 1880s and settled with his family on Norfolk Island for many years before moving on to New Zealand where he died, from photos of both of these men they look remarkably alike.

Hi Listers I am wondering if there is anyone researching this gentleman and family or if anyone can tell me where I would find information on him. He was born in Scotland in 1790, joined the 50th Reg, after arriving at Port Jackson with his wife and six children he was assigned as commandant of Norfolk Island. After serving on Norfolk Island himself and family returned to Port Jackson and eventually settled near Port Phillip.? Would love to know his parents and siblings, if any name his children's names, how many children they had all together, as I do know some were born on Norfolk Island, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated Liz

Hello to all down under. I am not sure if I have subbed to the correct list but here's hoping. I am looking for any reference to the following surnames from the above areas. JAMES BROWN PHILLIPS MORGAN JONES However, details of any other relevant surnames would be most welcome. I do not have either surnames or first names since my reference only stated that several from this area were sent to Botany Bay possibly as a gang of offenders. I am making a calculated guess at some of the surnames. They would most probably have been quite young men /possibly but not likely, women in their 15-30's about 1841. I do not know if any returned. If anyone is a descendant from the Tintern/Chapel Hill/Penterry/ Trelleck Grange/Chepstow area, it might be helpful to me. Please contact me if you can help in any way. Just turning from a lovely summer to an early autumn here. Regards Dawn dawn.cumbley@virgin.net

If anyone can enlighten me on this subject it would be much appreciated thanks Liz

Hi Louise I've never really thought about it, but I recently researched the family of a friend with that name and found she has Jewish and Scottish ancestors. Something for me to think about also.

Hello all, Can anyone tell me about this name please? Is it predominately Scots? I have a great grandmother christened MARION KATE HILL in Christchurch 1880. The informant on the birth cert. says the mother (unmarried) was from Cornwall, but I am now thinking Marion is a rather Scots name (I know the derivation is Hebrew). The informant was not the father (as far as I know), so maybe he was wrong about Cornwall. Would like to hear from anyone with an opinion on this name. louise

Thanks to all that have shared their memories of Pookie. It seems Ivy Wallace dreamed up the idea during WWII, then married her publisher William Collins. All I know is that I am 48 and have kept this childhood book all these years. The illustrations are beautiful. Children's books these days have much better paper and printing, but it is the images which stay in the heart. Thanks everyone for sharing with me. Louise

Oh yes, I remember Pookie - the rabbit with wings and the plus fours. He had a friend, Belinda. From memory there were a few in the series. I think out in the back shed I've still got a copy of one or more of my Pookie books. Sorry, can't help with info on Ivy Wallace.

Hi Louise, I few snippets... http://www.authortracker.ca/author.asp?a=authorid&b=uk_5973 Ivy Wallace’s Biography: Pookie sprang from the imagination of Ivy Wallace while she was working on a switchboard during the war. In 1945 she took Pookie’s first adventure to William Collins, and not only was Pookie put into print but Ivy Wallace and William Collins her publisher were married in 1950. Here we go...
