Hi Jeff

Thanks for the fantastic info. Much appreciated as always.

My family did seem to get around. Had another great-great grandfather who was a Swedish sailor, jumped ship and walked to the Qld goldfields. A few months later he married my Welsh great-great-grandmother who had emigrated to Oz twice already. Fathered five children and then died in a mining accident while still a young man - though this one involved a faulty ladder. He has a most impressive monument in the old local cemetery here.

Glad we could provide some post-Ashes fun.

Off to check out your great links now.

Cheers!
