my grans sister answered a post to become a bride in the Yukon where they were mining for gold.
she married the man but was not happy, a shortage of women placed her in geat jeopardy both her husband and his brother were fighting over her, eventually she had had enough, so she contacted the red cross to take her back home, by this time she was pregnant again,  one in her arms not yet a year old and the other was 2-3 yrs old.
she managed to get everyone packed up and sneaked away one early morning to meet the red cross person who took her and her children to the boat to bring them home,
what she did not know was that she had hidden, a gold nugget in her babies shawl, but so had her eldest daughter hidden a nugget in amongst her own clothes and in the babies clothes.
 when they returned she was able to buy a house, just close to the hill that goes up to the house with the large gardeb thats open to the public whose name i cant remember, she lived there for years, my mums cousins names were Genevieve, Virginia and David.she was a manageress for poole pottery in the shop they had in Poole.

in reply to the person ho suggested that they should bury us with a toe stuck out just in case anyone wants to do a DNA test in future years. I have a tray which states and I quote
to my critics:
when I'm in a sober mood I worry, work and think
when i'm in a drunken mood I gamble play and dink,
 but when my moods are over.
and my time has come to pass. I hope I'm buried upside down, so the world
may kiss my ass.

The Common Room / robert traill doctor and a clergyman and a hymanitarian to boot.
« on: Sunday 08 April 18 20:54 BST (UK)  »
he was a member of my ancestral family tree, he makes me so proud, being a doctor and a member of the clergy, he tried his best to help those unfortunate people who turned up at his farm and suffering from malnutrition and disease to survive it all, he set up a soup kitchen dug vegetables out of his own garden, killed a chicken to add to the pot and fed as many as he could day in and day out without charge and without stopping until late at night, even making a fire for them to help them keep warm, does anyone else have traill in their family trees on this site? does anyone else have any more information about this man and his family? and what happened to them, one was married to Sybilla Sutherland i think that was William Traill
