Thanks spades,

I hadn't realised the PM facility required 3 postings before it was available - no wonder I couldn't locate any such scroll icon or facility.  I guess this will count as one more posting, one to go...

Having nosied around the site a little more I can see there is a wealth of research resources available here, not the least of which is the expert assistance and rapid response provided by yourself and the wider community - well done!  It seems that some of the more prolific writers must live on this site!  ;)

Seasons greetings to all...
Graeme

Hi Bronwyn

Edith Emily's mother, Mary Alice Spillard was born 5 Mar 1863 in Kaiapoi - I think she was the 6th chld of 9 of Andrew Spillard and his 2nd wife, Elizabeth Tilling, (both born in London) after they emigrated to NZ on the Steadfast in 1851.

I have copies of some documents indicating quite a bit of research has been done into the Spillards, but I'm not sure by whom at this stage.  As a great grandson of Mary Alice and Charles Henry Hall I too am interested in their history and that of their descendants.

Regards,
Graeme
