There was definitely only one of him, and he was in WW2 for a bit. Thank you so much for the link to the book. I will pass all of this on to Ian and I know he will be stoked at what you have found. We are very grateful to you for taking the time and the trouble to respond to our query. Cheers

Australia / Stanley Forsyth HENRY
« on: Tuesday 13 March 12 05:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
My good friend Ian would dearly love a photo of his “pop” Stanley Forsyth Henry. Stanley (a Shorthand Writer) was 39 years old and living in Double Bay, New South Wales when he enlisted in World War One – Regimental Number 6136; Enlistment date 4 March 1916; Unit embarked from Sydney on board HMAT A18 Wiltshire on 22 August 1916. Stanley was a Sergeant in the 13th Battalion and returned to Australia on 11 December 1918.
If anyone knows of any photo of Stanley Forsyth Henry (singly or in a group) we would be extremely grateful, and we would be very happy to pay any costs that might be involved.
Thank you

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Looking for a family connection
« on: Wednesday 02 November 11 22:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hello – I have just read your June post, and I may be able to help you. The original Joseph Harnaman was born in 1823 and married Anne Lewis in 1846. Joseph and Anne had 11 children in all, including 2 Elizabeths. Joseph was the 3rd child of 7 children born to William Harnaman and his first wife, Maria Jacob. I am descended from William and Maria’s 1st child, William, who emigrated to the goldfields of Victoria, Australia in 1853. If you would like to know more, I would be very happy to pass on all the information that I have about the wider Harnaman family. I don’t have a lot about Joseph in particular, as he is not in my direct line.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Edward Joseph PRENDERGAST COMPLETED
« on: Friday 28 October 11 00:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi, can anyone help please? In connection with a book that is being written about the history of the legal firm Brookfields, we are looking for information and in particular any photo of Edward Joseph Prendergast, an Auckland barrister and solicitor who was born in 1876 in Feilding (parents John Prendergast and Mary Bradley) and married in Wellington in 1914 to Agnes Ethel Devine.
The following is taken from "Prendy's" 1956 obituary - "Mr Prendergast was admitted to the Bar as a solicitor over 50 years ago and started to practise in Levin. He later came to Auckland and joined the firm of Devore and Cooper, later amalgamated with Brookfield and Schnauer in 1919 to form Brookfield Prendergast and Schnauer. Once a promenent Court lawyer, Mr Prendergast appeared in the first case in NZ in which a man was convicted of a crime on fingerprint evidence - the Gunn murder case. Several years ago he left Auckland and, until his final illness, practised in the back-country districts of NSW." Thank you

Hi
Can anyone help please? In the late 1880s a gentleman (I think a teacher) boarded with the family of George Keam, a farmer of Yawong, Coonooer Bridge. Can anyone help identify him?
Thank you, Louise
