Happy New Year all (now 15 mins to 2008 in my timezone) For anyone with an interest in William EATON and Ann POWELL of Martley then Hartlebury, who came to Australia in 1858 with 3 generations of their family on the good ship Irene, there is a 150 year anniversary reunion in Woodford Queensland (where many descendants settled) in Feb 2008. Anybody with an interest, please contact me and I can put you in touch with the organisers. Below is the extended family in Worcestershire (not showing events in Australia). Cheers Steve Sims 1.
