Ada seems not to have been mentioned in the family again when they left Queanbeyan in 185 for Sydney, so perhaps her mother dumped her there (as she had already dumped her two youngest to be brought up by other families) and when she came to get married she had no baptism certificate, so was rebaptised. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: hayesmstw@hotmail.com (see web page if it doesn't work) Web: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7734/stevesig.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/
