Lew...lol I agree mate. Nothing wrong with that......as i said.....but...its the way he went aboot it. Why didnt he av the guts to say..He'y...the kid born in 1855 is mine, and be a man about it....instead of sneaking aboot the hoose late at night. Good thing he got sprung.......otherwise i would never had found out who the two kids father was.....:>)))) Every dog has its day.....lol Shame shame shame. Tony Oz...:>))) |

lol...Lew. Who knows mate?. I dont reeeeeeally mind my G,Great marrying my G,Grandads sister....but i can just visualize the scenario in 1851.and think he should'a kept his mits offa my G,Grandads sister. He was born 1813...she was born 1835.........22 odd years her snr. Nothing wrong with that.....but its the sneaky way he went aboot it. Can just see him waltzing into town ( widowed ) with 3 kids. His eldest, Elizabeth.... marry's Ben Hull (eventually )....then he realizes Ben has an older sister.....He thinks...Mmmmmm..cute likkle filly......lol.....In 1854 he is 41 ......she is 19.......so he hangs around a bit. Next minute....Whammo...she has illigitemate child born 1855........and agin....Whammo....Illegitimate child 1860...but he gets caught out this time, and is nominated as the father...........so he decides to marry her in 1861..( goody two shoes )....but a bit late mate.......cos ya got sprung.....:>))) and...he didnt realize his decendants in 2006 would find out aboot it.....tsk tsk.... Shame shame shame...lol Name witheld.....:>))) |

Goodmorning one and all . . . an overcast day here on the bay - not much in the way of heavy falls of rain here in the last 24hrs, but lots of drizzle. Just watching two ships pass in the heads - one coming - one going, looking all shrouded in mystery in the clouds and fog. There are five giraffe necks stretched high in the clouds (6 if you count Imara here on the sideboard) Thanks to the Queen, Bazza now has his own pet giraffe, and chosen the name Imara! Happy Anniversary Gwenda & Dave . . . hope you have a lovely day and do something special. I had a lovely day yesterday - always fun to spend time with Shazza . . . lots of laughing! Sure the girls meeting up today will have a wonderful time . . both in Toowoomba, and at Redcliffe. What you got planned this weekend Jood . . . hope if yourv'e got plans out and about the weather is kind to you. But, TLR dina have a very good day yesterday - p'd off with big mouths as a transaction going thru sensitive stage . . thought I would be packing to go home this morning . . . but no such luck! Big flurry of phone calls all night and early this morning trying to convince him otherwise . . drat it . . . they worked! Wont I have some words to say this year at the Christmas party . . (says he is leaving me home . . . dont think so!) Like the others have said Tony - song says it all !!! We're probably going to find we are all cousins Joy . . . . teeheeee I have one of those mixed-oops in TLR's family . . . put it away for a spell as it had me going around in circles. Had birth certs of gtgran Eliz Anne, and showed her parents, but on census father is different name . . so assumed it was a typo . . her marriage & death both had same as birth, (James) but the mother went thru with John by her side . . . turns out gtgrans dad James, died when she was a bub, and mum married his father John. Eliza Anne went on to marry her cousin . . (I get some mileage out of some of the relationships that have come to light teeeheee) You will have to scan the article Anna, and send it to us so we can see the whole thing . . . Numbers look good Wilson, just hope the silly machine knows which ones it has to pull out !! Good luck tonight all . . . BTW . . . as Vonny has handed me the controls of the ship in the weekender, while she is away . . . NEW RULE . . . . ANYTHING GOES !!!!! teeeeheeee catch ya all later luv Laurie . . . Princess of the Nile ( I know cause it says so on the parcel the Queen sent . . . Posty lady sure did look at me funny !!! LOL) |

Morning Wattlers Well we have got the best of days here today, yesterday was also great but I was too busy witht he free time at Ancestry to see much of the outside world, but I did fing my GG Grandparents and GGG Grandparents on different census'mainly 1841 and 1871, very interesting as I hadnt ventured that far with my research as yet, with me only doing my tree for a couple of years. Gwenda and Dave Happy Anniversary. I hope you have a lovely time. Anything special planned ?? Sounds like some are meeting up in Qld, do we get pickies??? I wont be about tomorrow as I have to drive the bus to Burnie this time for a meeting, Dannielle wants to come too for a drive and as we have a spare seat everyone said that will be ok, Im sure she will find something to amuse herself as a friend husband is also coming and they might go for a walk along the beach while we are in our meeting. Tamika has got work tomorrow otherwise she could have come too. But she did love her first pay and first up she gave me some money to put in a savings account for her and then she went and bought some clothes, didnt have a lot left but I dont think many would for their first pay. At least she dint waste it on junk :-) Well off to sit in sun for a while. ~~~~~ to all~~~~ Cheers Sue |

Oo Tony you're a card! My sister's married to a Williamson, so we're probably related to. Not to mention the Richardson connection, lol. Happy Anniversary Gwenda and Dave. Hope you have a wonderful day. Anything special planned? We've had rain!!!!!! 19mm and I feel there's more to come. It rained steadily all night and on the tin roof sounded fantastic. Fluffy and Trifles, have a brilliant day with your mini meets. Well, I'm off to do some research. Chat soon Lew Lew xxx |

Morning everyone, we had beautiful rain all night, stopped now but we may get some more, still very overcast. Anna I can't see Chri's pickle either, must be something to do with the privacy act. Good article. Off soon to meet up with the girls, better get on with some h/w before I go. Tell you all about it later, luv Jillx PS Tony I must tell you about my family they sound very similar to yours. A widowed father marying his son's wife's sister so the son then became his own father's brother-in-law. Jx |

Morninf Jood & Anna Wakey wakey Wattlers - do you think this is a good time for a sleep-in??????? Anna - read the story but like Jood didn't see a piccle so tell Chris it's okay - don't know why there is no piccle if you've got one - I got an ad for austar in the middle of the page. Can't say it's a privacy thing cos the front page shows a young sportslady - rather strange. Jood - sun is shining here although still cloudy - if that makes sense. Workmate's son gets married today so they want a fine day and I've got washing to do so I do too. Well better get and do it and a few other chores that didn't get done yesterday cos I sat tooooo long on the puta - surprise, surprise - not Have a great day peeps Tony - glad you knew what you was talking about - pmsl Gwenda xx |

But how lucky you were that your computer didn't fry (at least) lol Its like a cold winter's day here in the blue mountains. .. Almost jumper weather. ..
