Hello Margaret, Next year we are having a book fair here in Hamilton Waikato, though Im not involved myself they are wanting a number of Queensland computer sites to go to. I have given them a few including Judy Websters and some of my favorites and I was just wondering if you had some they could use. Regards Sue Tervit N.Z

Hi All Thanks for the below comments. That little boy could well have been my late sister's husband, Neil METCALFE (the character fits). My father was a stone mason in Cairns in the period 1930-1937. All I have is one distant photo of a stone mason's workshop. Oddly enough, my sister Pamela Alvina HINTON was in Cairns at about 3 years of age. In a photo she is standing next to Niel METCALFE who would have been about 5 (my guess). I have heard that METCALFEs ran a taxi service. Head of the family was a person named Nobby METCALFE. I have no other information at this stage.

They had a son who I think had polio. Whilst in the post office with my mother one day a small lad, probably no more than six or seven years old walked in from out the back and quite loudly and definitely told his mother behind the counter that he had 'fixed them'. When his mother asked what he meant he replied 'I flushed the little buggers down the toilet'. She ran out back and removed six very wet kittens from the toilet bowl. It was the result of the little lad over hearing a conversation between his parents the night before. Sorry I don't have any genealogy information for you. -----Original Message----- From: aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-qld-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Doug and Jane Sent: Thursday, November 26, 2009 10:21 AM To: AUS-QLD@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-QLD] HINTON OF BRISBANE HI All My interests relate to the following family names: .

Hi Kerry Thanks for the comments. Not sure about Clyda APPLETON, I'm guessing that is a married name. As for Thomas, see the attached family record.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I would look next.. John STAPLETON born in Queensland 11-3-1869 Father George STAPLETON Mother Ellen WALLACE Possible marriages are John STAPLETON married Helena McKENZIE 28-8-1889 ref 1889/000126 John STAPLETON married Catherine DWYER 20-3-1890 ref 1890/002225 John STAPLETON married Ellen Lloyd JONES 7-11-1900 ref 1900/000184 John STAPLETON married Margaret CLANCY 30-1-1908 ref 1908/002984 John STAPLETON married Margaret KENNEDY 31-7-1909 ref 1909/001676 Checking the above marriages....I have ruled out all but one and that is for John STAPLETON and Margaret KENNEDY.....I havent sent for this certificate yet ... waiting on a cousin who is researching the WHITNEY Family as Margaret KENNEDY is part of this Family.... and she may have more info before I send for the Cert.***he would have been 50 when this marriage took place..Margaret was only 19 so I am inclined to think this is not the right John....but not impossible.. John STAPLETON who married Helena McKENZIE also married Ellen JONES and is the son of Walter and Hanora BURKE John STAPLETON who married Catherine DWYER is the son of Patrick and Catherine McKEON or McEWAN. John STAPLETON who married Margaret CLANCY is the son of Michael and Kate DULLARD Have death rego info on these three..... Possible DEATHS are John STAPLETON died 28-3-1893 ref 1893/002105 No Parents on Federation INdex On line Index has **born NSW age 34 so that rules him out John STAPLETON died 17-3-1900 ref 1900/003532 No Parents on Federation Index On line Index has ** born Ireland age 35 so he is also out... NO other John STAPLETON's without Parents and NONE with Father George or Mother Ellen It is quite possible that he lived to his late 90's or later... NSW death index has a John P STAPLETON who died in 1919 with Parents George and Ellen....but my John doesnt have a middle name OR at least he wasnt registered at birth with a middle name... that is the only one on that index that comes close.. Any suggestions would be appreciated.. Jan. 1922 ELECTORAL ROLL has 7 John STAPLETON's One at North Pine has No occupation ... could be a possibility...living with a Violet STAPLETON who is a bookkeeper.. **perhaps a daughter.... 2 are living alone others check out from the marriages above......

Hi list, for those with English ancestors the Yesterdays site has been updated with hundreds more school records of persons from all over the British Isles. They are a useful source as they give DOB and in some cases name place of birth.

Hello Elizabeth, The Abey in Catherine's name is after her granma who was Susannah Abay Robinson. I was thinking it was a surname but I haven't found the source yet. Catherine has an Aunt called Abay French too. I don't think your Smiths are connected. Joseph had 3 kids. Catherine died unmarried & probably childless. Joseph died as a baby. Hazel married so her kids would be Priaulx not Smith. Sorry, I'll let you know if I find anything else. Cheers. Annie. Hot & dry still.
