I had two cousins who left Richmond, VA to start up tobacco manufacturing in Sidney NSW & Brisbane Queensland in the 1850's. Their name was Walthall. As far as I know they remained there and reared families. Cousin Peter Walthall & wife came to VA in the states to our reunion . Keep up the good work, Linda!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031863724124292014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-23657682251871800432014-01-27T11:17:14.783+11:002014-01-27T11:17:14.783+11:00Thanks for joining in Linda.

I think your post is a great celebration of Australia Day and our heritage. <br /><br />We certainly have our fair share of swimmers among us...or perhaps there was a ghost ship that they all arrived on.<br /><br />Love your Clare limericks (hmm that seems like an oxymoron) ! Your Dillon one is great and seems to reflect far too many of our ancestral families. <br /><br />Those scenes of Forrester's Beach and Malabar look just gorgeous...great place for a reunion. Great to have a reunion at all! And isn't the WA coast just spectacular.<br /><br />That was a spectacular flood in Katherine -it was the year after we arrived here. Sara Storer has a song about it.<br /><br />Happy hunting down those missing relatives. I'm intrigued by your missing Henry Nicholls.<br /><br />PS Best stay away from each other at Origin time.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-80735771610341460842014-01-26T23:57:32.077+11:002014-01-26T23:57:32.077+11:00Mine too... though I know her father's name wa...Mine too... though I know her father's name was Thomas; not much help there!luckyllamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332811544831993907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-73149097528940384102014-01-26T23:49:52.941+11:002014-01-26T23:49:52.941+11:00Hi Chris,

I'm also pursuing family history with a passion - I had a great, great uncle named Alfred Sydney Quennell (23rd Battalion AIF) who was admitted to Harefield on 14th September 1918 and I suppose could well be one of the other bedridden patients pictured with William on 27 Sept 1918 or at Xmas.

My father never got over the loss of his brother, and when in his 70's found out about the conditions of that particular episode of the treatment of English and Australian troops by the Japanese, he as almost inconsolable. It was a very brutal regime, and one that never received much attention from war historians, I guess because there were only 6 survivors out of 2,500 menluckyllamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332811544831993907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143746786252232720.post-28083317794080942982013-10-15T06:49:21.913+11:002013-10-15T06:49:21.913+11:00A lovely,lovely tribute to your Uncle.
