Dale,

That is so fantastic that you found them on the passenger list and the name of the brother, I'm so excited for you!!

It would still be nice to get the deeds, they would have their original signatures on them, which I always think is nice to have, really brings them to life, if you know what I mean.

WWWEEELLLL! Thanks to you guys for getting me accurate info I have found 3 maybe 4  descendants! All from different branches and some currently  having to rethink their family info!
Don't worry my "order" for a visit to Bracebridge has already winged it's way across the Paciifc!

NOW if only I could find :
Lucy an infant on the passnger list in 1870.
William Charles 6 in 1881
Solve the mystery about Hannah Linnell?Bolton?

Oh well time might provide some answers!
Meitaki maata (thanks heaps) as the Cook Islanders say! (FIND that wee dot in the Pacific - it's where I used to live!)
Cheers
Marlene

Think it is a good idea about the postcards. Of course if people are happy to post it the reverse side would also be fascinating

When I went up to reread Jan's reply, I saw the Zelley query, and I was sure that I'd answered it...crazy browser doesn't like rootschat lately.... ::)  :P
anyway:
William and Elizabeth arrived in Halifax Nova Scotia in 1884...with daughters...
Annie, Kate & Rose... $7.23US/$8.31Cdn.  for the information which will list all passengers they were travelling with also...
http://www.ingeneas.com/free/index.html put in surname, then on next page hit the image for your results... J.J.
p.s.....good thing you didn't trawl through the 1883 listings... ;)

Thanks very much!

Hmmm....Marlene...should put that onto the armed forces site...

  The postcard thing is sounding better all the time...they host genealogy pages here on rootschat... Husband's family has postcards, also from his Grandfather with fancy illustrations....wartime costuming & uniforms from the great war...
 Will ask Prue how hard/easy it is to do...not the web pages, that's easy...but the uploading to the site, etc...... :D Does it sound like a good idea, in other words, will people contribute?

I thought I heard my name being used in vain  ;D ;D ;D 
Loading photos/scans to a website isn't difficult, but I'm not an expert really.  My software tells me what to do and I just do it!
I reckon if you want to find out all the logistics of it, you should post an enquiry on the "Technical Help" board:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,285.0.html
Lots of web experts there  :D

Reviewed thd data, of interest three of the birth years were wrong
e.g.  Louisa Rose Zelley was born May 1, 1881, on the list it has the birthdate
as 1883.

I sometimes wonder if they had so many children/siblings whatever they just made up the dates!
I't'a bit like pick"n" mix lollies at the supermarket - every time they needed to record a date it varied!
The only thing you need to watch is whether a child might be bearing the name of a child who had been deceased and another child given the same name.
Or maybe Dad just had no idea of birth dates - somethings don't change!

Prue of the burning ears! The very words "technical & web experts" send shivers down my spine! One day...!
