Dear Mary, Thanks for your reply. I hope I've got this right - Peter Laurens Snip is the father of my great grandfather on my mother's side. David and Mary Anne Murdoch (nee Miller) are the parents of my great grandmother on my mother's side. I would love to know more about all of them. BDM's can only tell you so much. I am interested in where they lived etc. and would be grateful for any information you may have.

Kerry thanks for the information on George henry Gunson and Florence (Ellen) I just checked the NSW BDM and they are not registered there. I wonder if there deaths were registered in Vic. I will also type up the info I have on the Gunson line (quite a bit) ian

Wendy, My elderly aunty told me (& I am not necessarily saying what she told me is set in concrete) that a remittance man was a person sent out from England by his family, for assorted reasons, sometimes he was a black sheep. He received money from England, a remittance to live on in return for staying in Australia. It might be interesting to do a google search using 'remittance man.'

Hi All, Below is a couple of paragraphs from “A Colonial City High and Low Life – Selected Journalism of Marcus Clarke, Edited by L T Hergenban, published University of Queensland Press, 1972 '… sees a file of women. There are seventy-four in the Home. Some are young and healthy, and pretty looking-these with children mostly. Some are hideous and repulsive and dirty. These young women “want places,” but the child is a bar to that. Respectable people don’t like to engage a servant who has been obliged to go to the Home because she has a young illegitimate child to support. So that by and bye the child is put out to a dry nurse at one of the baby farms in the suburbs and dies after a little while as is the custom. … … The women have a ward of their own – a sight worth seeing and not easy to forget. … The inmates must have all beds made, children washed and rooms cleaned by ten o’clock. No meals in the sleeping room. Drunkenness punished with dismissal. Lights out at half past eight in winter and nine in summer. Nobody allowed to go out without a pass from the matron or to stop out after six in the evening. Must attend religious worship on Sunday. Meal hours – Breakfast, seven to eight a.m.; dinner, one to two p.m.; tea, five to six p.m. Rations – bread, meat, tea, soup, with certain modifications in case of need. The inmates are expected to work. …" Cheers Anne

Help! Before I go totally around the bend today can anyone tell me why I suddenly should not be able to delete email messages? I use Outlook Express V6. It was working OK earlier but has decided to ignore the delete key (message is highlighted correctly). Thanks, Wendy

Thanks Anne, Yes, I believe your aunt was correct. I've tried Google. I just keep wondering why one of my ggg-grandfathers didn't marry the mother of his children - I think he came from a reasonably well-off family which has set me thinking.....
