Mary I do have all that info - My W.J. Lochlin grandfather changed his name from Laughlan before he joined the Masonic Lodge in Scotland (p'raps it wasn't appropriate for a catholic to join the lodge, I don't know) - and of course Lochlin does sound scottish. There are only two different Lochlins in the whole of Australia - My dad and my sister and I were one branch, till we found out that little Mary in NSW ran away with her boyfriend - swopped surnames, and she had about 8 sons, so the name is still flourishing in NSW. (Little Mary was the oldest daughter of my grandfather's first wife who died in a burning accident). He disowned poor Mary, and married my Nanna in Hay, Victoria, then moved to Perth. Anyway - this Luasaigh person is obviously a cousin or distant cousin or mine, and I was trying to find out who he/she was. Incidentally little Mary lived in sin for many many years, and then her conscience got the better of her - they married, still with their swopped surnames, he taking my g grandfather as his own father, and she taking his father. .. All lies ! .. pmsl I have met a number of these rellies since I've been living in Sydney, and they have all accepted me. .. It does however, feel strange to see someone called Mrs Lochlin, who was NOT my mother! haha Tony - dream on. .. No wonder you woke up - you thought it would be a buxom blonde and it weas your ex mother in law lol Jood

Tony Do you think that the dream may mean that Barcode Barb is on a winner again...has she been in any more competitions lately..lol We are lucky to have a Bunnings just down the road also..love the place.. Love Maryxxx

Arvo peeps....:>))) Not long outa bed 11:30. Why didnt someone wake me!!....and i was having such a lovely dream too. Dreamt i was cruising in the Bahama's, and sitting on a deck chair sipping on Pina Colada's, and watching the world go by. Next minute I'm on a Island in a hammock strung between two coconut trees, and a beautiful native girl was fanning me with palm leaves. When i turned to thank her....it was me ex mother -in - law....lol Bloody nightmare more likely.....hee hee....... Maybe to many spices in me B.B.Q steak lastnight? Orf to Bunnings today. We live 5 min drive from our Bunnings and its time to buy the Tomato seedlings as its planting time now the cold morning frosts are over. Hint: If you plant Tomato seedlings always check the stems at the base, they should be dark purple-lish in color ( good sign of a healthy plant ) Daughter and her girlfriend just rang from Moama Bowling club, to say they made it o'k..... 3and a half hr drive from Melbum. They were supposed to drive up the Hume and turn off at Wallan to meet up with the Northern Hwy......and at Heathcote stay right ( along the Northern Hwy ) but went left and ended up in Bendigo..LOL...but eventually found their way back onto the Northern Hwy....lol Daughter was telling me that along the Highway they were travelling behind a Bus load of boys. The boys spotted the two girls behind them and started bare bum mooning the back window of the Bus.....hee hee The girls were laughing there heads off...and daughter said it broke up a boring long trip..... Nothings changed in this Country, and boys will be boys will be boys.......Ya gotta love this Country.......:>))))) Orf to Bunnings for me, and hope everyone has a great day. Tony Oz.....:>)))))

Jood Silly me.. Didnt read things right.. I just saw it where you said you had a message and I instantly thought of 'from Laurie'lol Her being away and all that.. Put it down to CRAFT,, I found a William J Lochlin born 1858 in Cronberry Scotland died Perth WA 2/12/1923 married Agnes Green 31/12/1878 Father William Laughlan mother Jane Grieve. notice the different spelling for fathers surname.. children poss. A.L. Lochin and J.L Lochin.,,,,, A,L is Agnes I think. Is this your family .. if so Is there anything else I can do for you.. Love Mary xxx

Gwenda, yes that is the name, but I wanted to be able to contact that person, and you have to be a full member. Jude has written but is away till Wednesday, she will then forward my address on to them. (they are DEFINITELY related). By the way Gwenda, there was a section down the bottom of that american page to go to UK immigration, but I don't know how much info is on it. Jude DIY, your dinner last night sounded lovely, glad you had a good time and that your parents enjoyed it also. Sounds like I'm the only Wattler who won't be lit up at xmas .. pmsl Jood

Sorry couldn't resist...pppppppppp Jood - the other handle is luasaigh - mean anything?????? All well and good Ancestry having more freebies but if I had family that went to America it was so long ago no-one ever mentioned them. If you had family on the Bounty tho you'd be in luck. When we went to Ellis Is. I played around on the puta but none of my family seemed to have passed thru and the one or two that may have might not have gone via Ellis Is. anyway. How is everyone - it's ages since I got a chance to be here - work, work and more work. Not wanting to wish my life away but is it December 4 yet????????? Still the money is coming in handy - can buy more certs, CDs etc. Tassie - enjoy the cars - oh to be a teenager again and drool over racing drivers - at my age I'm old enough to be their mother - lol Julie - love the hair and what a good price - have a friend who goes to the college to have her hair done Laurie - hope you're having a ripper of a time out in WW Trifley - how are ya? BTW did you leave any lights for anyone else to buy - doesn't sound like it - the International Space Station will certainly know where you live when they pass over - lol Flakey - hope your nieces don't tire you too much or they might be tucking you in bed at 8.30 DIYJude - glad your Dad had a great day and your Mum did well with the food - actually you've made me hungry and I've only just finished brekky. We're off to see Lee Kernaghan tonite - courtesy of daughter who got tickets at a good price. We had a night out on Thursday to see the Rock Legends - Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers & Elvis Presley - well done - bad luck only a small audience. Hi to Mary - hope you're well - how's John. Donna - how's the shoulder - hope you're not in too much pain Ducky - how's things - hope Wattie is behaving and enjoying Bribie. ~~~~~~~~~~to everyone~~~~~~~~~ who's not around at the mo Have a great day & weekend. It's back to the grind for me tomorrow. Oh yeh - day off and guess where I have to go - yep shopping at Big W cos they've got a good special on flashdrives - today only -I have 2 put aside for me so I don't have to rush but I'd rather not have to be in the shops today. luv Gwenda

Mary - the whole address didn't come out - here it is again. .. I really do think its US orientated, and nothing new for usses. .. But have a look (even someone you already have the details for, like I did) http://landing(.)ancestry(.)com/immigration/main/?o_xid=0039569103&o_lid=0039569 Mary - I wasn't aware Laurie was looking for anyone, sure it wasn't me? lol Jood

HiJood I think I have found the person Laurie is looking for. If I can help in any way let me know. Love Mary xx
