    3. Carol do you know how many Pritchards were in Beechworth? A. B. Pritchard is not yours as you have said - I've found mention of him in Qld after Albury. I have now found another Pritchard and I wonder if he was related.

    3. I had a look for this guy as I have other clips on him 12.6.83- S P Jessop secretary to the Upper Murray railway league headed off to Melbourne to present the petition (re the line to UM via Yack Kiewa) over 500 signatures, to the Commissioner of Railways. Yack Shire Council -upcoming election....Mr S P Jessop is a new hand but a promising one in municipal business. His whole career has been one of usefulness for whatever movement might be set on foot for the public good, Mr S P Jessop was sure to be found somewhere in it - most usually at the front. S.P stands for Samuel Penrose Jessop with an 'O' not 'U' married to Mary Elizabeth SHANNON lived Morses Creek then Yack remarried in 1884 to Florence Blundell, he or she was born Queens County.

    1. Re: [HC] Ships built in 1850
    2. Denise
    3. Brian hi so late at night No. Not to my knowledge. It was built by a subject of ours (Canadian/Americans) about 1850 in Nova Scotia. The descendants and I have been in touch with many, have tried to find details of this ship. Letters written in 1850 exist but the author didn't bother to name the ship which had just been launched. They know most likely where it was built, have been to the museum there (which is presently shut for 9 months winter) and no luck. I was hoping a website may just throw his name and the ship at me! (g) This guy then lived in Beechworth nowhere near the sea, so built furniture and coffins.
