Hello all,
I think brackets 8 produces a smilie face; not my intention.
I haven't been here in a long time but recently made another Australia connection.
I wonder if anyone on Rootschat is also connected to, or knows about, my Gardiner kin.

Sarah McCalmont & Samuel Gardiner, born in Northern Ireland, married 27/7/1899 on the Island of Magee. They moved with three boys to Ardrosson, Scotland. A further 9 children were born there, and the thirteenth child was born in Western Australia. Robartsons of Merredin nominated the Gardiner's to Australia. Samuel and three sons, James, Thomas and Samuel Jr. embarked on the Euripides' & arrived in Albany W.A. 28/7/1922. They proceeded to Nangenan. Sarah and nine children sailed from London aboard the 'S.S. Berrima' on 28 December 1922 and upon their arrival in Australia on 3/12/1923 the family moved to the Wilgoyne area. They had cleared nearly 1000 acres but were forced off by the end of 1929.
(10) Lucinda Gardiner may have married a Thomas Lockley in 1935 at Perth, W.A.
If anyone can connect with this family & is willing to share information I can provide a few documents.
As always any help is greatly appreciated.
