Hi Jan Yes I do have most of what you have found but appreciate your interest and am glad that I helped fill in your afternoon. There are so many folks on these lists who try to help and come up with some good suggestions. I also wondered if there was some connection between the Seemans and Kathleen Gordon before she went to work for Lena Seeman. By the way, some of the same family of Seeman used double "n" and some used single "n" and this can be found between siblings even. I was told by a member of the Gordon family in Charleville that Kathleen had an argument with her mother and left Charleville and never returned. The same person also told me that Lena had some sort of an emotional "hold" over Kathleen. Or Kathleen was "infatuated" with Lena, or something. As you know I am not really researching the Seemans. I am only interested in the connection with Kathleen Lillian Gordon as she is my rellie. I am not too interested in going back too far on the Gordons either. I am mainly researching my Kelly line. Kathleen's mother was Sarah Gordon (nee Kelly) who married Alexander Gordon. I have managed to find a couple of the Seemans and one told me that Colin Vivian Seeman did not own the furniture factory – his father did. Colin was just a "hanger on". He said Colin worked at the railway workshops at Banyo or Northgate where they made signalling equipment. Bye the way, did you see the article on Trove where a young lad working at the furniture factory got his clothes caught on fire and another guy threw water over him from a drum? Only trouble it was not water but was caustic soda. He died in agony in hospital a week or so later. Lena and her husband William Henry Seeman are both buried in Rockhampton and he was once a small time grazier at Duaringa, a Seeman rellie told me. What puzzles me is Kathleen Gordon is on the the electoral roll from 1954 to 1984 at 20 Peary Street and never on the roll at 12 Peary Street, the house owned by Lena. But the Seeman rellie tells me that Kathleen would not have lived at 20 but always lived at 12 with Lena and her son Colin. These two house are only a couple of houses apart in Peary St. Perhaps the 20 is a mistake on the roll and should be 12. Another thing – Colin is on the roll at 12 Peary St until 1968 (mother Lena died in 1965). Then in 1972 and 1977 he is on the roll at 20 Peary St. He died in 1978. I wonder if 20 Peary St was a boarding house? As I have previously mentioned, the Seeman rellie told me that Kathleen never lived at 20 Peary St but always lived at 12 with Lena and Colin. Thanks once again for your help. If you think of any more suggestions then I would be glad to hear them. There is a niece of Kathleen living in Brisbane but she is not too co-operative. Perhaps there is a skeleton in the cupboard there somewhere. Cheers Ian
