Hello Simon,

Thanks, it is nice to find another "Berry", and it was interesting to read that the Berry's were originally Huegenots from Cherbourg, France.

Re your Peter Smith Dawson, I am enclosing a page from the Australian Dictionary of Biography
on him for you.  It is very interesting to read and there is also a photo there as well.

I have looked at a lot of shipping lists and arrivals but have not been able to find any information on the L.N.S. "Ellamany" at all.   In the immigration records into Victoira there is one marine death for Hugh Fraser in 1855 on the ship Covenanter.  Also on the online Unassissted Passengers to Victoria indexes at www.prov.vic.gov.au there are 32 people arriving named Hugh Fraser.

Is it possible that the information that you have is incorrect?   Also on the same website there are 10 Hugh Fraser's mentioned in the Wills section - all of this information is free to download.

Hi Everyone,

Wow! Thank you all so much for the time and work that you have put into restoring and colouring this photo for me.  I really appreciate the time and work that you have put into doing this and it is really nice to have a coloured picture of this much treasured photo.

Many thanks,

Effie Ann

P.S.Thank you also for correcting the colours to ocean instead of fields.

Hi,

I am amazed at how you have restored and coloured the photos on this page.

 I wondered if you would be able to remove the mark in the sky, and also colour this photo for me please.   This treasured photo of Norfolk Island was taken in 1930 by my late Dad. A copy of the photo was hand-coloured as part of a photo competition prize, but has been eaten away by silver fish over the years.

Many Thanks,

Efffie Ann

I would appreciate any help/suggestions with research regarding David Berry, Christened 2 Jun 1805, Leuchars, Scotland,
married Jean/Jane Thompson. 

They had 3 children Agnes born 1836, Markinch, Fifeshire, George born 27th March, 1838, Markinch, and
David born 1840 Markinch, Fifeshire.   In 1841 Census David's occupation is shown as Ag Lab and they were living at Thornton.
Agnes and George Jnr both immigrated to Australia and lived at White Hills, Victoria.

Thanks, EffieAnn
