Negatives last longer than CD's and digital stuff, I've been given images from WW1 from plate glass negatives that still survive..if they were taken by a digital camera, would they still be around..the old stuff doesn't deteriorate as fast as the new stuff and as one chap said to me, its easier to delete history or a fix up your school photo now than before..

I have read that there are records for QLD railway employees available -is it possible that I could I be informed as to whether there is a Daniel (Harry) Wood /s listed sometime between 1883 - 1898? Thank you, April Wood Ashton

I agree Marcelle, families can be very strange. That's one of the reasons I suggested the Aus-Tas list. Despite the fact that her close family know nothing, that doesn't mean a researcher not that close to the family has found something they haven't. My Tas families are so convoluted - and BIG. I have more than once chased up a "side issue" regarding a birth, death or marriage of a connection not personally that close to me, because the mystery of it intrigued me and found things - sometimes by accident, that no else had yet come across. And, more importantly, other people have helped me in exactly the same way. Us researchers all love a mystery.............. Your lady may have left home simply because she didn't want to live the insular life her family expected of her any more. I knew people when I was growing up who were desperate to get away from Tasmania - simply because it WAS Tasmania. They yearned for Melbourne or Sydney. The saying that "everyone knows everyone here" was almost, nearly, true. You couldn't move without someone knowing what you were doing and telling someone in your family. The mainland seemed just so much more "glamourous" and "the land of opportunity" - and - somewhere you could be anonymous. I wish you happy hunting, Regards, Wynnette. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mvs" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2012 8:36 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] AUS-QLD Digest, Vol 7, Issue 154 > Thank you Wynnette, much appreciated. > > I actually have been in touch with her family who moved from Tasmania to > Victoria.

Thank you Wynnette, much appreciated. I actually have been in touch with her family who moved from Tasmania to Victoria. I have photos of all her relatives and siblings but not her which is odd. She disappeared it seems with regard to family. I have her Marriage Cert. to my grt grandfather but no-one in her family knows anything about her life- it's just ridiculous. Perhaps she ran off with my grt grandfather and because of the life he led she was excommunicated by her family. Who knows...families are very strange things sometimes!! One of these days I'll track her down. I know I'll never stop trying. Thanks again, your suggestions are very helpful especially regarding Tassie.

Jan Can't find Alexander John TIBBITS in the 1959 Electoral Roll. Regards Kerry (Young)

Could SKS with access to the electoral Rolls after 1949 please look up Alexander John TIBBITS could be living with Mother Violet GORTON TIA Jan

Dear Marcelle, I suggest strongly that you join the Aus-Tas Rootsweb mailing list, even if only temporarily. She may have eventually gone "home" and died, (even re-married) there. Regardless, it is extremely possible that there is a Tasmanian researcher who has her in their family tree and have the details of her life and death, wherever it was. I tried looking on Trove for you, but it ends in 1956. Being born in 1886, she could easily have lived beyond that year.

John's death notice in the Paper 1930 suggest he had children....... found a death of one son Stanley in 1928. Found Violet on the 1934 ELECTORAL ROLL but not on the 1949.. she may have remarried after 1934 TIA Jan

Catherine Fanny age 93 buried 1 July 1985. Regards Kerry (Young)

Morning all   Hope someone would be able to help me with the death date for Catherine Fanny Haughtey/Anderson. She was born 1892 and believe she died in Charters Towers after 1964. Her husband was Charles Anderson.   Kind thanks Marg

I too have a Harriet THORPE who is missing. She arrived in Cooktown on the Roma in 1882 with her husband James AMOS and I haven't found either of them since.
