I don't know Brown the back of the photo says W.J. Martin, he is in fire uniform and I have now read a cutting out of the scrap book which shows a Martin of Wangaratta F Brigade. Is he yours? If so, I'd love some particulars to help me with the identification I have the "duty" to do on all photos.

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for this wonderful offer. If you have time...could you do a check of the Seymour newspaper/s (there may have been two at this time, not sure) for death notice of RUBY McINTOSH who died around 7th December, 1907, please? I have a memorial card for her death but cannot locate her in the Seymour Cemetery and wondered if the paper mentions her death and/or where she was buried, or any other details. (Am too lousy to buy the certificate just now!!! (g) ) Thanks for your help. Regards, Margaret. > >I am going to the State Library this Friday 26th. >Anyone wanting look-ups please contact me. > _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
