I am still looking for any other children of Thomas and Mary Winnel/Winnell
So far I have found:

Grace, b 1900, ?
Thomas R, b 1903, Wagga Wagga
Ena, b 1906, Murrumburrah
Joseph Norman, b 1914, Leeton NSW

Any takers?

as the  index only go online to  1906  you will  have  to  wait for someone with  the  next set.

you will see at the top of  the board a  listing from OZZYBOB  who  has this particular index and is willing to do lookup

Hi,
Well now you must have a look at the National Archives  for the ww2 service history for your Joseph Norman Neil Winnell.

You will find in the digitised version his wife's full name, date of the marriage, place of residence and a not all together flattering sort of character reference.
He was a butcher.

You mean the "lacks attention to detail and cannot memorise work" bit?

[sparrett]

Yes, That bit.

I couldn't help smiling.  It really isn't fair is it, when they are no longer around to stick up for themselves.

It's not viscious, just a statement.

As a teacher in this day and age, if we wrote a report on a student in that tone, we would be hauled over  the coals.
Non -judgemental political corrrectness at all times now.
It would read.

"Is still working towards gaining focus on detail.  Needs support to commit material to memory"

Yes I agree. It' very hard for me though, I love my history and I think those records are a fantastic resource and yet the people they concern aren't here to consent to them being there for all the world to see, and in the grand scheme of things WW1 wasn't so long ago ... and I have at least two of my family members who have "delicate" medical complaints in their records too.

Hello  there

Sue  "Bah and Humbug"  to  this  PC  some of  the parents  wouldn't understand  what  the comment  meant

Belinda

and yet the people they concern aren't here to consent to them being there for all the world to see, and in the grand scheme of things WW1 wasn't so long ago ... and I have at least two of my family members who have "delicate" medical complaints in their records too.

The  census  records  in  England  contain  information  ie  what their occupation  was  that some folk  would  not  like being  told about them  100 years  on.  I  have one elderly friend who  I  have been helping with her history  and she told me the  family  were timber merchants and well to do  I  found  out they were  Sugar Beet workers before they emmigrated to Oz.  I  must admit  till  them  I  didn't even  know  you  got sugar from a beet   where I  come From  Cane fields abound.

I discovered from  the NAA  site that my gf had VD a bit of a shock etc (he wasn't on  his  own  there]  but  it does tell the tale of  their  lives during  that  period  that we cannot change and  it does give  such  wonderfull  insight as to  what our forebearers were really  like  as opposed to  what  family details are past on ,  often  lies and BS

I  personally  would  hate to see tthe NAA take  the records away.  Genealogists benifit from  them  warts and all.

kind regards Jenn
