Thanks for your interest in the thread. I haven't a clue on what Martha Crawford or Mary Conway would be involved in. Martha definintely would have been occupied by some other interests than Hiram!!!! and I suspect something to do with music/helping others/church etc etc - as would her daughter Susan. I hope to follow up some of the ideas when in Beechworth. Obits for Mary and Martha both indicate they were well known in the area. There must be something!! > > BTW - was your list doing GEMMEL (?sp) I deleted them, thinking I had no > interest. Now I find I have a family of GEMMILs as a lateral line. Be glad > to share info. Nandina. I have no personal interest in Gemmell but am following the family for a couple of reasons one of which is their connection to Wooragee. Any happy VAlentines Day to you also. Red roses??? Chocolates??? Denise
