Please my husband has asked if the image of Frank Musgrave be added to the photo of his siblings. I think he wants it all in that Sepia colour. I have included the back of the sepia pic which describes the persons in the photo. Harold Musgrave was my husband's grandfather. Replica medals that Harold received for his war efforts will be framed with the resultant image as a gift for the last surviving child of Harold who will be 94 on 2nd June 2019.
In the black and white photo Francis is the one on the left at the front. An arrow points down to him. I thought a head and shoulder image could be inserted to the right of the sepia photo underneath Murray Musgrave.
My skills with graphic programs are not that great.
Thank You

Could someone please tell me the words that are written in black at bottom of photo?

What I know: my grandfather is in the photo, W.A. Wiseman, he is the young man standing with mug in hand at the back on the right. The photo may be of a WW1 camp in Bunbury Western Australia, after enlistment at Blackboy Hill. He was originally with the 7th Depot company but was taken on by the 16th Infantry Battalion. Originally in the 16th reinforcements but embarked with the 25th as he was under age. In other photos written with white ink, information given is place, date and a comment.

Thank you

I am researching The family of Henry Emmanuel Mills, his wife Ann Fish and their ancestors and descendants. They come from the London, Middlesex area. I am wanting to know how I accurately list the places for the era 1880 and before.

Here is an example:
Parish or Poor Law Union: Clapton Park All Saints , Borough: Hackney

Do I put "Clapton Park All Saints , Hackney, London" or "Clapton Park All Saints , Hackney, Middlesex" or something completely different?

Another example from the above is address for abode just states "93 Oswald St" is this in Hackney?

As I am in Australia these places are just names that I can locate on a google map but it doesn't tell me what the area was called or how to write an address for that time.

My particular interest (other than being correct) in the above is that they had a child in 1882 but that child was not on the passenger list when they immigrated in 1885. I have found two children of the same name in the death indexes but can not work out which is the one.

a note I made

Two Frederick George Mills died in Jan 1883 one from Hackney, London and the other Marylebone, London on Ancestry


I have attached his baptismal entry. At the time they were living at that address 93 Oswald St but they also had come from Marylebone. Hence my dilemma.

Thank you

I am looking for a picture of a special type of house. I am trying to reconstruct a photo I have seen but nobody knows what happened to it. I want to see a photo of a bag house. They were made of hessian. I recall the photo but to reconstruct it, I need to at least have something to go by. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

My father's family were farming at Kulja, Western Australia, between 1927 and 1936. They lived in a house made from hessian or fertiliser bags. I very much would like to see a photo that I can relate to in my reconstruction of the one I remember.

In the West Australian newspaper in 1928, a journalist, Mr Simmonds wrote
“I shall always remember the little brown hessian township of Kulja, up in the newly-developed wheatbelt. It is six months old. There is a hessian cafe— ... There is a hessian store, a butcher's shop, a gramophone that plays modern fox-trots — and a Progress Association. All around are green acres of growing wheat, rustling in the breeze where, only a little time ago, was nothing but dense scrub and sand. At first sight a hopeless proposition! In Kulja we saw, as it were, the birth of a township. And a proud resident said to me 'In a year we'll have a real brick town hall here.' Perhaps it may be more than a year.”

What records would I need to look at to find out when a person was appointed to the service of Queen Victoria as a doctor? Are these on-line or would I need to get someone to look for me? I am in Western Australia.
