Hi PJCPJC

Great to hear from you so quickly! I'm a bit of a Dodo with Web Chat sites so I'm on a learnibg curve so far and am not quite sure what one does to make direct contact but no doubt it will brcome clear soon, Ihope.
Joan & I live in Sydenham, South London, a few miles from St George the Martyr on the Borough High St. just South of London Bridge. This is where Joan's 3xGGF Gregory was baptised. There was an older son called Gregory who for a long time thought was him. He was Bap at St Sepulchres without Newgate (near to the Old Bailey) in 1772. also William was Bap.there in 1774 But I have now proved that the first Gregory must have died before 1783, the bap of Joan's Gregory in 1783 at St Geo the Martyr
We have visited Sydney three times, spending most of our time in the Library and Atchives. The Gregory (son of William) had a sister called Harriet who was born i London and came to Sydney with her mother Elizabeth on the William Pitt. Harriet  married a William Hodges and in 2006 we visited Ken & Jan Hodges in Hobart.
Could you explain what I need to do to exchange our e-mail address?

Regards
Dennis

Dear PJCPJC
Having stumbled across RootsChat, I found your interesting message about Gregory Board & Napoleon.Cottage. My Wife is a "BOARD" and we have traced her 4xGGF Gregory Board Snr. (who died in 1811 at Southwark London, England). Her 3XGGF another Gregory Board remained in England but his Brother William was transported to OZ with his wife Elizabeth in 1805 for Coining. I have been trying to trace his Kin in Oz.
The Gregory Board of Napoleon Cottage was named after his Grandfather and Williams brother Gregory. I have also found the Gregory Board of Glenbank that you mentione too. If you are interested, I would love to exchange our infomation as we now have a copy of the 1st GB's Will which refers to William being in a foriegn country and also the Two Children that they had to leave behind in England!
Regards
Dennis
