Hi Kath, I'm not an expert on Cowell, but happy to lend you my copy of Franklin Harbour District Council 1888 - 1988. It has quite a few pages on various families of the area.

Hi Mary Ann Thanks for the offer but I have the book which I have read from cover to cover as well as a book called Saga of Wangaraleednie. My problem is that my husband's grandfather was a local man called Alfred George Reed but generally know as George Reed whose father was called John Reed but nothing more is known about who this John Reed is. I had wondered about another Reed family in the area which had settled at Mitchelville and the Francis Reed who had settled with 2 sons had a brother called John who eventually settled in the Cleve area but had come from the Orrorroo area with wife and family. He married this lady in 1880 but Alfred George Reed was born in 1873. There does not seem to be a record of his birth and I wonder if he is the illegitimate son of John Reed but there is no evidence. Just my suspiscion. The Reeds parents settled in Willunga sometime in the 1860s. I am told by my sister-in-law that Alfred George was brought up by his grand parents but we do not know who they were. Peter thought that John Reed had come from Orrorroo and his sister thought that he was from Victoria. Alfred George was on a property in the area in 1900 when he met and married a local girl called Hannah Eliza Hale form Utera Plains. When children arrived he started a transport business where he was a courier and had a hire car. This is about all I know. There is a John Reed buried in the Yeelanna cemetery who fits the date. So you can see my dilemma. A lady called Bev Hoader who is very involved with the local museum is looking up what she can. She says some local records were destroyed in a fire about 1911.

Hi Ros, Cancel the Aussie  group, if easier, as I, for one hope to hear the Williams' St. speaker.

Hi Ros If I remember rightly, a couple of months or even three months ago, those who were at the Aussie Group unanimously voted to cancel the Aussie Group for that day as many of us were either helping or participating on the day. I have volunteered for the day so I would be happy to cancel for this month.
