Morning Denise I am pretty sure I have seen this name in 'my travels'. Can you pin point his death date rather then just the year? If so, easy for me to look thru CC for you for any death report. If not, I can trudge my way thru 1918.....

Peter, Congratulations. And a question! Any word from anywhere from anyone on a similar CD for Beechworth????? Cheers, Wendy

Good morning. I'm looking for family connections to the family CHESNEY. I don't have much to go on really but Robert Chesney died in 1918 in Fernvale near Tallangatta. I believe this may have happened at the home of my Haeffner family. He had lived in the area for 20 years, was 84 years of age. He used to farm at Boranduda then was a saw miller near Wodonga. I don't know his wife's name. One son - William lived at Robert's death in Narrandera, a daughter at Fernvale (Eliza) and another daughter in New Zealand (Mrs Haeffner) Robert is buried in Tallangatta. Any connections??? regards Denise

Hi I would like to make contact with any one researching William Samuel Harvey married Sarah Hannah Gentle in 1885. Thanks Jennie Jennie Phoenix (previously Bailey) nee Jenkins - searching for Skinner; Gentle; Thorley; Hudson; Jenkins, Rawson, Tomkins, Gelfius, Bennett 02 62966575

I would love a copy Peter if you wouldn't mind. I have the book Echoes of History, but this self guided tour may well come in handy next year when all theCrawfords descend on town - including several Americans. Watch out Peter, unless you want to meet your kindred spirit again, stay clear! I have recently done up a self guided tour of Hiram haunts for the people attending, so it will be interesting to see what is different. I have taken my tour over 50 years of various ventures and sites around the northeast and takes up about 10 pages. Ought to keep them busy for a while at least! We are also having another movie night at Chiltern. More than welcome to come if you like! I don't know if it is purely for Crawfords or other locals as well, but the offer was there for us. The more the merrier I think, so think about it. There promises to be a surprise or two. Of course you are more than welcome to come for "lemonade" one night. Cousin Bob and wife and my family will be in town for several days before the big event. All promises to be very exciting and fun.

Thanks Denise. Hard work, long hours, but fascinating stuff. I'm not expecting a lot of cheek! Some, maybe? Whatever, I'm now very pleased with it. It is basic but easy to use. Incidentally, have you seen the new brochure put out by Indigo Shire called " Beechworth 'Echoes of History', Follow the Pioneers... A self-guided tour of the Central Business District of Historic Beechworth, Victoria"? It is absolutely wonderful, obviously mentioning C & C, but perfectly done to my mind.

Aggie Martin (nee Blewett) to her mother Alice Blewett (nee Waterson) Havilah P.O. via Myrtleford 30-10-34 Dear Mum, Your letter came glad your were well, we are all here too. I've been very tired this last few days no energy at all I hope I'm not getting the flu. We have plenty of it around us. Wards are bad with Mrs is very bad different time there has been some of them about here too. Father hasn't arrived back yet. Mr Maguire's Mother was buried in Bright yesterday with the father. She was 87 yrs, 46 yrs since the father died. The few fine days are delightful aren't they after the rain. The flood last week was the highest since we have been here. Well still you have to walk in the water the other side of the bridge at the creek but only about 6 in deep. Mr Brown could not get across at all for a couple of days. Then it was knee deep. It was right out to that tree that leans across the track half ways to the ??? hill. Myrtleford flood must have been bad. Our paddocks are very wet. The cow we tried off to fatten was sick yesterday. Edgar gave her a drench she seems better today. She is fit for beef now. Our sow too is sick she hasn't eaten for 4 days altho today I thought she took more notice of us. I do hope she gets betters, it was own first try for some young ones. One gosling died but they seems to be getting on well now, 5 of them are a lot bigger than the others. Still have the 24 chicks. Another hen to come out Friday for myself 10 of the others are for Father. Mrs. Hens sent me a setting of turkey eggs. I haven't got a hen sitting to put them under yet. I get up to 16 eggs. One old goose took the young ones the other doesn't case much now. She does a bit of watching them , well even the old man does that but Mrs Grey always sits on them. There are no more calves yet, 2 more shortly then a spell & another. Then there is another lost her calf this year altho we never found it. She is to have another but she'll be a year behind. There is plenty of feed about our sub paddocks are beautiful. Plenty of sub there if it had the super. O I must tell you about my baby I forgot last week. He is walking well. For sometime he'd take a few steps and fall over but now he can walk well altho sometimes he has a little crawl for old times sake. They are both asleep now. Thelma doesn't ride as much, she is a bit afraid of the pony. She is lovely & fat & shiny. Thelma doesn't have a stick now & she is as safe as she always was but a stick makes her flash. Scott makes us feel close to England doesn't he. I don't like the Duke he doesn't look nice. P of Wales & Duke of York looked far nicer, don't you think. I will have to close now and wash the separater. Where is Jack working now. The flowers most of them are looking pretty bad on it. What were those to rooty things something like Lilly of the Valley. Its looking well, 3 lillys well daisies with bulbs all gone. I hope they come next year. Hope to see you soon & will tell you about them then. Much love from all to all Aggie Herb Madason was in Yack Hospital sick. Mancy's X Ray plant was out of order. He wanted to X-ray him. When night came he hopped him into his car & ff to his brother in Henty & they both done the job & back to Yack he came Annie goes to hospital next month so father told me the other day. Hope you understand this. I'm to tired to write love Ag
