Hi Narelle, I'm also working on the SHORE surname. My 2 x gt grandmother was Elizabeth SHORE, (b 1848 at Lexington/Mt William), who married Thomas HAWKINS in Corop in 1877. Elizabeth's parents were: Richard Shore & Mary Welsh, according to her baptism certificate. Elizabeth's siblings were: Lucy, William, Mary, Robert, Jane - and perhaps John. As far as I'm aware, they married into the following families: Braine / Price / Weeks / O'Mullon. Let me know if this links up at all. Rgds, RAELENE - Melbourne Hello All, I am interested in BLADIN and SHORE surnames anywhere they might appear. regards Narelle
