Thanks, Janet - nice to see someone wanting to be helpful instead of carping. Yes, I had seen the familysearch entry. I'm actually trying to help a descendant of that family try to establish whether that one is linked to mine from Poole, and so far can't find a connection, which needs to be a generation further back than the ones who came to Australia. Thanks for the offer of further info on the son, but at this stage I'd say not to bother as I really feel it is a different group. Thanks again, Kathy --- On Tue, 17/11/09, Janet <jmartin17@optusnet.com.au> wrote: > From: Janet <jmartin17@optusnet.com.au> > Subject: Re: Thomas PRETTY - South Australia look-up please > To: "Kathy Pearson" <kathypea@yahoo.com.au> > Received: Tuesday, 17 November, 2009, 3:38 PM > Hello Kathy, > > The S.A.
