Hi Pam, my grandmother was Rosie Barwick nee Challis, I was trying to find a link between
David William Challis and the Nile Challis's, David was grandfather of Charles Royden Challis who was adopted by Benjamin and Maud Challis of Nile, I was wondering how this came about and wether he lived on the Nile , just fishing really, will probably never know

Sorry, I meant Benjamin and Maude Turner ,he was raised Sydney Turner and there was Roy who I believe was adopted also

Regards

Hi Pamsparkes,

No it is not allowed, however, if you just like to say hello again, that takes you up to 3 postings,. after that, you have access to e-mailing facilities.

Hi, I am looking for details on the family of Benjamin Turner b. 3 Mar 1868, and Maude Challis
b. 29 Nov 1881 from Nile in Tasmania. I have first names only, Coralie, Nell, Marion,Ivy, Benjamin and
Elvie, there is also Sydney and Roy, but I think they were both adopted. I think Sydney's birth name
was Charles Royton Challis b. 27 June 1910.
hope someone can help
cheers Craig

Hi, My father is Roy Turner, my name is Ken. I would like to make contact with you.
Regards Ken.
