To all Listers in Australia, I just noticed while watching the above BBC programme on Jason Donovan that one of the ancestors that was mentioned was a Simeon Lyons. He married Elisabeth Gertrude O'Brien in Tasmania in 1879. She was born in Calcutta. Perhaps one of our Australian Listers also has this O'Brien family in their tree ? Keith Cornelius England.

Thanks for that post re the Tasmanian connection of O'Brien. I've just forwarded the message to the Tas Rootsweb list. Cheers Ainslie.
