Hi Everyone. Could not pass by without saying G'day. Although born in Oz myself, my Grandad was born in Earls Colne. (came to Oz in 1915.) other Ancestors were in Essex 1600-1900, Colchester, Great Tey,Lexden,Maldon,Chelmsford,Copford,Gosfield,Coggeshall,Braintree, ect,ect. So i surpose I've got a smidgen of Essex blood in me. Coming over in Oct 2005, and looking forward to it. Cheers. Tony Oz.

Hi, Do I count?? I`m Scots born, but having married an Essex man have spent most of my life in Essex (I now live in South Ockendon, anyone know of it?) sadly my husband passed away 12 years ago now, but my roots are now here, although I went to Scotland for my son`s birth, he con siders himself English (the Sassanach!!)

Nudge again for the other Essex people....

Good on ya Liz, But I must admit,I do want to retire to Suffolk or Norfolk. Baz

Hi I was born and bred in Romford, moved to Canvey Island, Upminster and currently in South Ockendon. Wouldn't live anywhere else but good old Essex. Liz

Ok my attempts to ignor your message didnt work, thats because I am still thinking of a reply, so I dont have that much get up and go I am clearly not up to the job, I would make a complete mess!

Hi Stace` Love to meet,,but my wife won`t let me !!

Thats good, so have you fixed the date for the meet?

Hi Stacey,,Maz. Still around I`m afraid.

Are you busy? No response from Baz. Where is he?

Don't they always say "if you want something done, ask a busy person" ..... ??!!

Hi Stacey, I would dearly love to do it,,,,,,,,,,,,,but, due to working 12 hours a day, six days a week,I couldn`t possibly give the meeting the proper time and consideration, that it would thoroughly deserve,and believe that someone with more, `get up and go`should be assigned the role. But nice try Stace` Baz

I am starting to think of responses to his possible reply, so any help would be greatly accepted! So put your thinking cap on!

Nice one Stacey - awaiting Baz's reply with bated breath heheheh Maz. XX

I knew that you were going to do that! I should have worded it differently. Well my dear fellow message boarder as you started the thread I do believe that the responsibilty falls to you! (Get out of that one)

Hi Stacey, You offering ?

All this Essex talk but no one has suggested a meet?

Hi Baz: hope all is well with you and your mum is still improving. I am not an Essex lad but a large part of my heart is in Earl's Colne which is the place that my lovely daughter lives. CHEERS Ernest

Great grandparents from Writtle, Essex. Never been there so don't know what it's like. Have seen photo of church on line.
