As Queensland and northern N.S.W.start to clean up and to mourn their tragic loss of life and property we also must remember that Northern Western Australia has also experienced vast floods, Southern W.A. bush fires which it is suggested was the work of arsonists., now Victoria today, the north west of the State and now closer to the outer suburbs of Melbourne are being sandbagged with Rivers and streams overflowing their banks. We are fortunate here that finally the torrential rain seems to have stopped and disaster has been averted. I know this is outside family search but a poem published by Dorothea MacKellar in 1908 "My Country" was inspired by her family home in Gunnedah, central N.S.W, and her words especially today still sum up and inspire us who call Australia home. Patricia G. in Melbourne.

Unfortunately the site I was using earlier does not give information for years as recent as those you are looking for. I'll continue to hunt around and see if I can find what your looking for. ros

Hi I've certainly had ancestors that married at 16 and a couple that could only have been 16 if they were baptised at just a few months. I have also had some that were baptised at age 2 or later. I think that in practice things were not quite rigid. The age of consent varied. According to a government website during the 19th century the minimum age at which marriage was permitted (with parental consent) was 12 for a girl and 14 for a boy. so this could still be your Isaac. Hope you really get to pin this down. Ros

Hi Karen, My great great grandfather, John GOULD, became a police officer in Bath in January of 1858. He married Eve DOWLING in December of that year in Bathwick Parish Church. The minutes of the Bath Watch Committee make interesting reading ! In April, he is drunk on duty and "engaged in an affray with a butcher". In June 1859, he is absent from attending a fire that was on his beat. Finally, in December 1859, he was again found to have been drunk on duty and dismissed from the force. Although he briefly finds work as a Carrier's labourer whilst living in Monmouth Street, Walcot, by 1863, he has moved to Bristol, where he lives until his death in 1898. Not an illustrious career, and family tradition has it that he was "a bit of a lad". John's sister, Elizabeth GOULD, had an illegitimate son, named Charles GOULD, whilst living in Trinity Street, Walcot, Bath in 1866. In 1869, she married Charles MORRISH and from that point, her young son was known as Charles MORRISH too. Elizabeth was a stay, or corset, maker. John and Elizabeth's mother, Hannah GOULD (nee CLARKE) was a hospital night nurse living in Trinity Street, Walcot. She died in 1869, the widow of William GOULD, stone mason. Now if I could ever find out where William died, it would end the search that has so far taken me over a decade ! Hope this is of interest.

Hi Everyone. Just a note to say my family and I are all safe and well,and have escaped relatively unscathed from the floods. My Sister in Law self evacuated to her work place ( Salvation Army nursing home at Riverview) which is up high so as to be safe, unfortunately she and 120 patients had to be evacuated to a relief centre in the middle of the night as the floods were about to isolate them. She and the patients should be able to return to their Nursing Home for good tomorrow, however she was able to return to her own home this morning, and is going through the smelly process of throwing out spoiled food as the electricity has been off for 3 days. We are amongst the lucky ones as some people have had water over their roofs for 2 days ! Please keep these people in your thoughts, if you are so inclined please visit this site where you will be able to assist financialy:- <http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/>http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/ Regards Steve List Administrator

ello am looking for the baptism of Issac Sayer born around 1773 in Worle/Weston uper Mare area .Issac married Hannah Harden in 1804. I have found a baptism for Hannah in West Zoyland St Marys Church in 1788,not sure how old she was when baptised but if she had been a baby this would make her about 16 when she married in 1804. Seems a bit young. Have anyone got access to marriage records for 1804 that would show her age? Many Thanks andra ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRISTOL_AND_SOMERSET-request@rootsweb.com ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message

In my last list message I mentioned The Colliers Way. This walk and cycle route links Dundas, Radstock and Frome. A web site entitled 'Discover The Colliers Way' is here: http://www.colliersway.co.uk/ This looks very interesting, especially if you like walking or cycling. If you click on areas on the map, you can find out lots of information about places along The Colliers Way. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

An article in today's Bath Chronicle has just caught my eye: Jack and Jill went up the village hill http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/lifestyle/Jack-Jill-went-village-hill/article-3093287-detail/article.html There's a reference to Kilmersdon in Somerset and what could be the origin of the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. Mention is also made of the Colliers Way. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Thanks for sharing your memories of the street parties at the end of the war with us, Janet. My sister told me a little about the parties for homecoming servicemen, which she attended. She said that my Dad was always in the band so she danced with my Mum. My Dad played the piano and the accordion, so I expect that he was much in demand at these parties. I have just dug out some of my Mum's memories from that time. Here they are: When the end of the hostilities came, we couldn't believe it, we had become so used to hardship that one could not think that life would ever be normal again. There were street parties. We were still rationed, of course, but somehow the tables were filled with food. There was dancing and singing in the streets and we made bunting from odd bits of material that had survived the war and strung these everywhere. The goodwill was wonderful and we were glad to be alive. The party spirit went on for a long time and, as each man was demobbed, a party would be held in that street with all the flags flying to welcome the hero home. When our own prisoner-of-war came home after being five years away, he was a stranger to his children. At first, they didn't know who he was because he didn't look like the picture of their Daddy, which they had kissed every night of their short lives. The suffering was there. He had been on a long hunger march and was very changed. He didn't look like a young man any more. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hello Jo, The street parties at the end of WW11 will never be forgotten by those of us who enjoyed them.  I certainly have memories as clear as if it were yesterday.  Someone would offer their piano and a few strong armed men would manhandle it into the street and the singing and dancing would continue well into the night and no-one thought to send us children to bed or even keep an eye on us so we had a whale of a time!  Earlier that day everyone would have brought out any spare wood or anything that would burn and a bonfire would be kept ablaze for hours in the middle of the road, food which had been hoarded during the war was generously pooled and it all made for a night to remember.  My overrriding feeling was of absolute joy that  hopefully it wouldn't be too long before my father would return from the war after 4 years away.  Most of my friends father's returned before mine and I was very envious of them but at last my turn came and I was given the customary day off school to celebrate his safe return.  Memories which will last to the end of my days. Janet
