Australia / Re: What happened to Ivor HOPWOOD who died in Australia

All the best Maxidog.   :)

I hope that you are successful in your efforts to find a photograph - that seems such a small request, in the scheme of things,  and hopefully someone in the family will reach out to you to fulfill it.

Hi maxidog.

It has been a long haul for you in his search and the success to date in the quest is due to the work of this wonderful forum.

I cannot agree with your remark that the friendly approach in the post from by your relative  Lozzalita is not a suitable way to begin contact.

Not sure if you are wanting further contact but this forum is not the means for it.


It seems to me like it would be a great start to answering some questions.

If  Lozzalita posts just 2 more times she will be able to use the PM system of Rootschat and that way you can chat more freely.

Perhaps Maxidog was a little taken aback by this wording  "I remember her mentioning about your awful visit when Eileen was in hospital."  But DM is the way to go and Lozzalita could do a couple more posts, even just a short couple of words to be able to enable Maxidog to communicate.

It's the archaic use of "inmate" to mean someone living under the same roof.

Maybe like a boarder (or 'private boarder' living in a town where his family does not live) noting that he is 18 and a tailor as is the son of the Pickering family.

I was interested in the bit the beginning, "In the name of God so behit". So be it looks like a translation of Amen. i don't think I've ever seen that in a will.

I don't think it is a translation of Amen. I think it was a phrase that was used.  Ie 'In the name of God, so be it.'

'So be it' means 'Let it be so, I accept it as it is.'

Surely 'Amen' actually means 'So be it'?
Or have a misread this shanreach?

Well after an Anglican boarding school education etc this is not my translation of Amen.  The quote I used did not use Amen as a synonym  only the quoted  'Let it be so, I accept it as it is.'

My meaning of this is that the writer or signer accepted that everything is the will, majesty or mystery of God or from God's benefice, including the ability to live, to die, to have children or friends  and to have items to leave or even to reassure that he did not seek to look behind anything that what he saw he accepted as an expression of God's will.

Apparently ears are useful identifiers.  I was reading about how to detect AI fakes - they tend to fail at the ears.

Yes I remember reading this also and don't find the ears to be very alike across the two photos. Though aside from the ears, I can see a similarity. Another point might be if there was an injury to the ear at some stage?

And her mother's maiden name might have been Monie or Morie? Or Mosie?
