Well going by Noelene's description and enthusiasm for the sketcher, I think it is tempting to purchase on film - think it is available. Noelene - did it sketch people builidngs etc? Can you elaborate a bit for me please before I venture into purchasing one and then find it not suitable. regards and thanks Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nandina Morris" <nandina@alphalink.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 10:35 AM Subject: Re: [AVNE] "The Sketcher" > Thank you, Noelene.

Thank you, Noelene. I knew there was a reason when I opened my eyes this morning that I decided to put off returning to the SLV today - will go either tomorrow, or Friday. Now there is an even more exciting task for me. With a bit of luck, Denise will be even more excited.

Thanks Nandina I look forward to what you have found. Very much appreciated, and I am sure lots of us will get something from this. Thanks for the tip on the drink - my wonderful husband makes hot toddys for me - mainly so I don't keep him awake I think. Nothing hot and spicy has walked past yet. Look forward to the Carnival.

LIsters, today I received an email from someone asking me for information on the following families - Does anyone connect or can offer help - Marshall - William Hayes - Edward Morris -Thomas Morris - David These names were in Beechworth mid 1800's. Many thanks Denise

Nandina, 'The Sketcher' would most likely refer to "The Australasian Sketcher, with pen and pencil". Large format, monthly newspaper that was noted for its detailed art work. Published 1873-1879. The writer Thomas Carrington wrote for "The Sketcher". State library hold copies. There were also two volumes of reproductions done in around 1970. One had the years 1873 (not sure to when) and the other had 1880 - all the Kelly reports. The art work is fantastic.

And it's not only you 2 who have it. Both my brain and my fingers are fuddled! Denise - I have several print outs with Beechworth Carnival notes in them, but missed the best one with the names of the ball. Am going back in tomorrow (have to) so will also try to retrieve that. Lots of ads featuring the Carnival in their promos, I've printed off 1 front page with ads. Came across one para that photographs were taken for (in italics) 'The Sketcher'. I have not heard of this before, don't know if it's a journal or what. Can you help? No photographs in either the O&M Advertiser, the Leader, or the Herald - just a mention, however I think the write ups will come later in the week. Am too tired now to read much, but will shortly send you a list of names etc, and then put the pages into the snail mail. Some copy not so hot. Why won't they put toner into their printers? Just be patient....and drink lots of hot lemon and honey, with something hot and spicy added to it and I can't remember what it was. Invent something!

I think we both need a good nights sleep. It is 1/10/1869 . where did 1989 come into it? As for the CC - most horses where mentioned stolen have a note of brand, some quite involved which I couldn't do on this keyboard. The dates I have given 1/10/1869 is the time of theft. 14/4/1870 is the date it was reported to Police Gazette. It was in April 20th 1870 Gazette. No 1989.

Hi Kathy Thanks for the information. I'll follow your lead.

It is only a snall book 52 pages. It was published in 1980 and the printers were Thomson Printing, 401 Kiewa Street, Albury 2640. It may be worth while contacting them to see if they have any copies or know where you could obtain one - they may even be able to put you in contact with the author who may have some left. Also since the forward is by Gordon F. Craig Chairman (in 1980) of the Albury Wodonga Development Corporation the Albury Family History Group may be worthwhile contacting. You never know.
