Thank you once again , Les. We are going to "SctPple" site now to find, if possible, Neil's parents. The lady in Oz definitely has those three last children, though I think that a couple of them are a mystery to her too except that Neil's son Neil is, of course, also her ancestor and Dugald died at Neil's sheep station in Victoria, Australia age 26. So it is really Mary and Jannet, as she spells it, who are the mystery children. She believes they probably died young. Neil senior arrived in Oz around 1849. I'm just including all this information in case anyone else is interested in this family. Thanks again best regards Lorna -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
