Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 1 Send Message	This is my first post so do I hope this is possible. I am in Sydney so can't visit myself. I am very interested in my ancestors' struggle over a legacy. The short title is Williams v Games (Games is my side!) and the reference is C 16/762/W260, which apparently needs three days notice to view. There is a earlier case which took place a few years before, Phillips v Games, ref C 16/447/P38. I was thinking of buying the pdfs online but it looks as though it would cost a lot of money. I was wondering if any of you lovely people will be going there and would be prepared to cast your eyes over one or both of these cases. I would just like to know, roughly, what it was all about. George Games Jones, is my great great grandfather. And his twin brother was Rev Joshua Jones who went on to great things. I do know that Joshua had to change his name in 1880, to Joshua Hughes-Games, "in order to fulfill the terms of a legacy". I fear my direct ancestor missed out - so I hope you can understand why I am so curious about the whole thing. I do hope someone can enlighten me on this! regards Angela
