Hi, folks! Can anyone help with this query I received? "I have a letter written by a Mrs Ruth Hill, Vautier St, North Geelong in 1979. In it, she talks about her husband's grandmother, Mary Gallagher, from Stramore in Donegal...I have tried to find this Mrs Ruth Hill, but there are no Hills in Vautier Street. Lindel <lbuckle@ihug.co.nz>" Thanks Gwen
Hi Gwen, I checked with Ruth first and she's definitely the person who used to live at that address, who wrote the letter, and yes, Vivian is descended from Mary Gallagher. Ruth is not on email. She can be contacted at ......... PO Box 33, Drysdale Vic 3222 Regards .........

G'day Gwen, Given the date of the letter [25 years ago] it is quite conceivable the lady has "relocated" in that period.. Cemetery records could be revealing. bfn John Gwen O'Callaghan wrote: >Hi, folks! > >Can anyone help with this query I received? > >"I have a letter written by a Mrs Ruth Hill, Vautier St, North Geelong in >1979.
