Hello Christine Thanks for that info. Are you a relation of the author? The fire was possibly on my grandfather's property.

No relation! Well, not yet...... My Randall's are a bit of a brick wall with me. Can only get back to John Cole Randall arriving about 1855. He had a mining accident back in 1869 which meant a spell in hospital of six weeks. I'm hoping that a ship's name will turn up in the records, they are being searched for me this week. Certainly don't expect parents names! they haven't turned up elsewhere. No marriage record for the one they consistently claim. Do you have anyone buried in the Heathcote cemetery? I go there fairly often to look for headstones, and take photos. Will be going again in the next week or so. Regards, Christine ----- Original Message ----- From: K. D.
