Am wondering if anyone knows of a good book which covers the Scottish Parishes, Counties, etc. Probably one which encompasses some historical information and photographs? Shirley

Hi all, I am researching my family in early Sydney and would like to see pictures of Elizabeth St or any central Sydney in 1880-1890. Any ideas of websites, books I could access? Any ideas appreciated, Kind regards, Mary, Lower Hutt, New Zealand researching WATT, BIRCHELL in Sydney. [email protected]

Sybil Just a thought, but if you discovered a family of Thompsons, and you were indeed related to one of them, then wouldn't you be related to all of them? Or is there something I don't get here?

Dear list By definition (or at least as defined in my Little Oxford dictionary) ones's ancestor is any person from whom one's parents descend. I was always under the impression that implicit in this is that an ancestor was deceased. What do others think? Maybe Pam is in a lucky position having an ancestor wanting help. None of my ancestor's are in that privileged or fortunate position. Not this side of the grave anyway. Or was it simply a case that Mary Ann's descendent was able to linger longer?

Dear List, Wondering if anyone has records for Catherine Hill Bay Cemetery Woodend Cemetery and Sandgate Cemetery? I'm searching for 3 baby's in the name of PEARMAN-family say one buried Catherine Hill Bay and 2 buried maybe at Sandgate Cemetery.? Around 1950-51 Best wishes Amanda

Thank you for that lovely poem, it brought tears to me eyes. Tricia In Melbourne

Prince Henry {Coast} Hospital, Little Bay, NSW History: In 1881, following an outbreak of smallpox in the inner suburbs of the city of Sydney, the government of the day decided to establish a hospital at Little Bay which was far enough away from the city to ensure that the unfortunate people with this killer disease would be effectively guarantined from the rest of the populace. The site soon became Sydney's infectious diseases hospital and housed patients suffering from typhoid fever, bubonic plaque and leprosy as well as all other infectious diseases. It was inevitable that deaths would occur and so an area of land to the south of the hospital was set aside as a cemetery and a number of patients and staff members who died from these diseases were interred there. Anyone suffering from serious infectious diseases was admitted to Prince Henry Hospital, and if they died of one of these infectious diseases they had to be buried in the hospital cemetery. Therefore this cemetery is rather unique in that the persons buried therein did not necessarily come from the area. Many of he headstones have not survived, and many are unable to be read, but each headstone has been fully transcribed if possible, and of course, some of the people who were buried there would never have had a headstone in the first place. The headstones are widely scattered over a large area and thee are no numbered rows, therefore it has not been possible to list them in any particular order. I personally have spoken to Prince Henry Hospital concerning records of admittance's to no avail. Best wishes Amanda

Hi Listers, I am interested in the name of HOSKIN in NSW. Any of them Gail in Wagga

Today I found a large family of Thompsons who arrived in Sydney on the "James Harris" on 1 May 1834 from London. I am related to one of them and I was wondering if any of them appear in someone else's family tree. They are: Joseph Thompson (2) age 55 Linen Draper (b.1779 Daventry Northampton, son of Joseph Thompson (1) and Anne Poole) Mary Thompson his wife (nee Brown, dau of John Brown - Leiut on George III's yacht) Ann Thompson age 21 - m. Rees Jones in Sydney on 3.3.1838 Elizabeth Thompson age 19 Susan Thompson age 17 John Thompson age 15 Henry Thompson age 13 Samuel Thompson age 65 Linen draper (oldest brother of Joseph (2) above) Joseph Thompson (3) age 20 Painter and Stainer (presumably Samuel's son or grandson) I look forward to hearing from you Sybil Cameron

Hi All James ODELL, baptised 24 July 1831 Tingrith, Bedfordshire, married to Mary Ann Linger 23 July 1854 at Tingrith. James is listed as being killed in Australia. My ODELL ancestor found this information out and wants help in trying to find out any information, as I would like to know too. Is there anyone who may know anything. Many thanks Pam Dalby Qld

Thanks to Ada who has most likely assisted me in identifying a photo studio where a photograph of my gg grandfather was taken - it appears to be John Paul CAROLIN of Piper Street KYNETON, Victoria who operated between 1873 and 1874. What I am wondering is whether there is anyone else out there who may have a photo from the same studio, of one of their own ancestors. Part of the writing on my photograph is faded and only the "C" and the "LIN" is visable. I would like to confirm that this is the correct studio . . . is anyone able to assist me? Thanks in advance, Shirley FYFE (nee ROBERTS) Longford, Victoria, Australia [email protected] "Genealogy is like Hide & Seek: They Hide & I Seek!"

Hello Pam, If you can afford it, I think the only answer is to get new copies of the old certificate and compare them with the alterrations. You have the registration numbers, so there is no search involved. A member of our group had a certificate where the relative had made corrections, had photocopied the resultant "correct" certificate, and then passed it on to relatives. Genealogists cannot proceed on illegally alterred certificates and you owe it to your own research to gain a certified copy of the original certificate. > My query is this - does anyone know how to remove either sort of >ink without damaging the paper? Don't attempt it. regards, Ada Ackerly, Melbourne, Australia formerly Ackerly DocuSearch

Amanda, Thank you for posting this information. I heard a story recently which connects these two ladies with my Gt grandmother, and was about to start looking for information on them. Whilst I had heard of Tilly, I didn't know too much about her, and I had never heard of Kate. My Gt Grandparents (Robert & Kate Gordon) had the Hotel Gordon in Goulburn. I was visiting my aunt recently, and the hotel came up, and it was mentioned that Kate & Tilly were friends of my Gt grandmother, and were regular visitors at the hotel.
