I am a self employed trainer who travels a fiar part of the state delivering services. I have been doing family history for a good number of years. My families are Laws, Collins, Timms and Winter. Laws and Collins have been fairly well done but Timms and Winter are very light on,. Any information on George Powell Winter who married Margaret Eveyln Bain at Wanganella Station near Deniliquin in 1873 would be appreciated. he and his wife moved to Stradbroke south of Sale in Gippsl in about 1882. George Winter spent some time in SA before going to NSW> That is all the info I have on him other than he was either born at sea or at Pocklington Yorkshire. Benjamin Timms was born about 1822 at Whaddon Buckinghamshire - parents most prob. John Tims and Mildred????? Benjamin married Bridget Hayes of County Clare Ireland at Stratford in 1874 and they selected a block at Glenmaggie. I have no info as to when where they landed in Aus. Any info on any of the aobve would be appreciated. TIA Majella - ---------------------------------------------------- InterNet Australis http://www.australis.com.au/
