I am hoping to have another chapter ready to post by next weekend. 1891/92 our grandfather would have been 12/13 years of age. My guess is, he worked in the shop. This is about the time he supposedly went to "Newington". I am doubtful, but must ask the Newington Arcivist yet. The fees are one thing. He would have had to board for another. And the other children were not quite old enough to pull their weight in the shop. But ... I will wait for evidence ...Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647929951322724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221033796929186099.post-19524882198096140952016-04-25T12:31:18.006+10:002016-04-25T12:31:18.006+10:00Thank you Julie for you wonderful ability to resea...Thank you Julie for you wonderful ability to research and then put into words and photos the stories of our forebears. I think you are definitely the only person with the ability to put it all together for our future generations. <br /><br />Next time we pass through Bathurst, we will definitely be looking on the corner of Rankin and Henry Streets and taking a few of our own photos.<br /><br />Looking forward to the stories to follow.Sandra D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03470071056715817715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221033796929186099.post-86219535565636784212016-04-24T16:44:08.201+10:002016-04-24T16:44:08.201+10:00Absolutely, time consuming, Diane.

I figure I am one of the few people (only person?) who has this information, and really feel the weight to pass it on.<br /><br />Besides ... I thoroughly enjoy the research. I want to make them real people, not just dates on a page.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting, and for leaving a comment.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647929951322724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-221033796929186099.post-19205334049184879992016-04-24T14:53:10.830+10:002016-04-24T14:53:10.830+10:00Thats the good thing about country towns, the hous...Thats the good thing about country towns, the houses seem to stay rather than be bulldozed for development. It must be fun walking the walk of your ancestors. I have just started dabbling in family history. It is so time consuming.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.com
