Tony - didn't come through again but I have been able to email both my boxes and had a reply through on one so I don't know what's going on. Just let me know when we win - I trust everyone on here - pity we can't say that about a lot of peeps isn't it - a better bunch we couldn't have found - loves ya all Mary in case I don't get back - have a great trip, good luck with your fossicking, hope John is okay, look forward to hearing from you during the week. Laurie - sounds like a lovely spot. Glad the only company you had was the feathered kind - nature at it's best. Yvette - hope you're feeling better soon Off to eat pizza Gwenda

Just back from Sizzlers - Katherine and I went by ourselves for a little treat! We went early so we didn't have to queue. Jood - I told you those chooks would make good chicken broth. They're more trouble than they're worth! Sad about all the visiting kids and the change overs. The little ones must feel like they're in a pass the parcel game. Soon time for Lotto - has to be good if it was bought in YarraWONGA! ~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone. Anna Laurie - sounds like you had a lovely pic-a-nic. So - did Glen get her father's blessing - or wot??? F.I.L. should grab him quick smart - it's not every day a prospective son in law turns up who's been raised by the United Nations. PMSL

Evening you mad lot . . . was that a coooo like the jokes around about poor cooo starkers . . . . I swear this thread is like a good wine! TLR & I had a lovely picnic. We like to explore new places along the rivers when we get the chance and the weather permits. Today we drove only about 30 mins from here - down to the Georges River. Found this little parkland, high on a cliff - not a popular place because it doesn't have access to the water, or the facilities of some of the others. We parked the car and walked a ways out thru the bush and found this fab place - a rock platform hanging over the cliff. So we set up our picnic and it was breathtaking, a canopy of big gums over us, and the upper branches of gnally gums below right in front of us. The only 'human' noise was that of the occasional boat on the river, and that was only a muffled background noise. We were serenaded by kookaburras, and parrots a plenty, a few magies, and a great flock of white cockys. It was hard to believe we were so close to the city. We had a spectacular view of the river below thru the branches, and only saw about 6 other humans in the 3hrs we were there. Only left because the thermos was empty! Glen has just phoned, and dont ever tell him I told you this story - but it is priceless !!! Glen & Nell have decided that she will move in with him, but being the kids they are they decided to talk it out with the parents before they went ahead. We had our little talk last weekend! Anyway, the kids have gone up to visit Nells parents this weekend and Glen has had the talk with the parents-in-law - said he was nervous as anything, felt like he was taking a walk to the gallows. Nells Dad told Glen that it wasn't what he wanted for Nell, that he had strong religious beliefs on marriage and he asked Glen if he had been brought up with religion in his life. Glen said yes, the Dad asked what church do you belong to, and my lovely Gleno said 'United Nations . . . . . ' At least mum it broke the ice - we all had a good laugh!' I have to go find my son a United Nations flag this week PMSL . . . Anyway folks, the squid and occi are just going on the BBQ - so catch you all later luv Laurie

Hi Gwenda. Have just Emailed Lotto again, so will see what happens. Jood. Lol..Loved the story with the Egg...hee hee Tony Oz..:>))

Hi SuzyQ & Tony - don't know what's going on with emails - got Suzy's about the Pilot and the Dog and have only 4 messages in that inbox - OH says he tried upgrading one of our security programs and it wouldn't and when I switched puta on it didn't start up normally either - I've also had probs with CD's - I can get first one to work but when I switch to the next one it doesn't and I'm having to shut down and restart - not good when you're doing research for someone. Back soon - hafta finish topping my pizza Gwenda

Ermmmm. .... sorry to change the subject, I gotta tell ya about my day. .. I duly went up to dd's place to haul the broody chook off the nest (she actually had an egg this time, quite warm, but then she could have made it warm) - so kicked chook off, topped up their food, checked water, walked to the car, met dd's neighbour. .. Place my warm egg in a small container luckily I had with me (the lid wouldnt quite shut) - on the bonnet of the car, while I exchanged pleasantries with said person. .. Down the rocky drive I drove, back onto the road, all ready to drive off - oh nooooooooooooooo the b*****y egg!!!!! Brake-crash-splatter :( ... I'm thinking that drivers are gonna worry how an egg came to be dropped in the middle of the road .. pmsl. But wait - there's more. .. I had arranged to meet a g/f at local shopping centre there, after which we sat in the sun, then in the shade watching the world go by. .. (There were only two shops open, the liquor store and the take-away). G/f nudges me, and says 'see that car over there, the kids are getting out and into another car. .. Dad has returned kids to mum'. I was surprised. .. G/f says it happens a lot at this shopping centre. .. About 3/4 hr later another car pulls in front of us, another mum gets out, two kids, another car pulls up, said kids get in car with Dad and off everyone goes. .. Not a word spoke. .. True - and sad. And there endeth my day. Jood

Love me FH..Trifley. Not always i find what I'm looking for, but sometimes its an education along the way. Biggest problem on Census forms with this DIL - SIL is that sometimes we find two Adults Head: John HULL ( Widowed ) Mary: HULL ... ( DIL ) and think its automatically the Daughter-in law ( eg:....Married to one of John Hull's sons ) but tis not always, and could also be a first marriage Child/Adult of......... Mary HULL nee SMITH who has died...... Its a good one to watch out for. Tony Oz.....:>))) Lara. Best way is to check ages of these two boys. If there under marriage age, then one could possibly say they are the sons of Fanny ( to her first marriage )

Thanks Tony thats what I thought Id read somewhere so thats what it has on this census entry William head Fanny wife John Son In Law Bob Son In Law Bruce ' ' ' So for a minute I'm thinking son in law well where's the daughters ? thought they might have nipped off for a girly weekend or sumpin LOL then I thought harder and sort of remembered reading just what you have said somewhere so the old brain does work sometimes mate LOL thanks alot just needed it confirmed he is thew son this william of the only smedley left in the uk and lo and behold no kids hey just my luck so no go with his descendants eh his wife must have been married before the so called SIL's were all Atkins and were all Lacemakers and the DIL was a lace drawer have you any idea what that was please does it mean maybe she drew the patterns for them to make ?? Nottingham lacemakers darn would have been nice if they had been my lot might have made some famous pieces streory of my life close but not close enough guess its no use putting him down on lost cousins as no descendants anyway thanks again Tony back to the drawing board love Lara

oooh dear, my sides hurt ......roflmao............. the tears started when i got to 'phlebs'.................. i think I need to go and lie down.................... serf Hz

Tony you are a font of all things FH. I find you amazing :) TX

Hi Lara. On some census forms, when a man/woman remarried that already had children to their first spouse, they sometimes were called...SIL.....DIL son in law/daughter in law related to the head. Each person is put down as: Related to the Head of the House. Head: John HULL Wife: Mary HULL Child: Mollie SMITH .....daughter of Marys to first hubbie ( sometimes put down as DIL....related to Head of Household...(daughter -in-Law) ( Step daughter )to John HULL Child: James SMITH......son of Mary's to first Hubbie ( Sometimes added as SIL......related to Head of Household...Son -in - Law )..( Step son ) to John HULL Child: Eliza HULL....dau ( Child of John & Marys ) Child: Ezra HULL...son ( child of John & Marys ) Tony Oz...:>))
