>...AMANDA was a "little" girl >in 1917when she found a bottle with a note inside that my father ERIC H D >WHITE had thrown over-baord from the troop ship " ASCANIUS" off ALBANY >W.A..on November 15 1915 The said bottle was found by AMANDA on the beach >near Port Albert on February 14 1917 Amanda Annie WINTER, daughter of Frederick George and Mabel Elizabeth (WILLIAMS) WINTER, was born in 1907 at South Melbourne. I cannot find her death in Victoria 1921-1985. Her mother died in South Melbourne in 1944, her father at Yarram in 1955. Her grandmother may have been Harriet Amanda WINTER who died at Yarram, near Port Albert, in 1929, aged 91. Good luck in finding descendants, etd Gwen O'Callaghan **************************************************** Mrs Gwen O�Callaghan Yarram 3971, Victoria Australia Fax Intl code+61 (0)3 5185 1474 ****************************************************
