Greetings Beryl and list, In response to your suggestion for a 'roll call', Beryl, I am forwarding this message (originally sent to the goldfields list, as you will note) in the hope that someone a little further afield may be able to help me find out more about these people. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who can help. Cheers and Happy New Year to all Julie M. Hopper. -----Original Message----- From: aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-vic-goldfields-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of juliemhopper Sent: Saturday, 29 December 2007 3:50 PM To: aus-vic-goldfields@rootsweb.com Subject: looking to identify Greetings list, This is a long shot, but I am hoping that someone may be able to help solve a mystery here. I have a wedding photo dated 22nd July 1919, bride Daisy Marion START and groom Guy Francis GRIFFIN. The photo is of a family gathering, but there are two people I cannot identify. One is listed on the back of the photo as ‘Mrs. Les NEIL, soldier’s wife’. Now there are NEIL graves in the Amphitheatre cemetery, so there may be a connection here. I do not know where exactly this wedding took place, but the bride’s family were all from the Elmhurst, Amphitheatre and Avoca areas. The groom was from Dubbo in NSW. I have found on Digger a Leslie Henry NEIL married to a Lavinia Mary NEIL, so this may be the Mrs. NEIL in the photo. There is also in the photo a young woman named on the back as ‘Eloise MATHIESON’, but there are no other details about her. She may have been a local, but I do not know of any MATHIESON families in the area. I would be pleased to hear from anyone who may know more. Thank you Julie M. Hopper.
