Sherrie, Thanks for that. You have been doing a bit of sleuthing and I appreciate it. I know that there is another Lister who will be interested in the Tarnagulla connection too! I am really only interested in Eliza as she married into my family of major interest: PETERS, However, when information like yours comes along I also pop it into the program.
