Hi Tanya,

Yep, plan at the moment is coming up Thursday 17th Feb, home on the Sunday.

Got a bit to do, have to go to Karrakatta Cemetery, State Library and out to Como to see my great-uncle, but I can fit in a time to see you. What day is good for you?

Hi Rachael,
I work on Friday, but am basically free the rest of the time.  Did you want to make it on the Sunday before you head back?

Hi Tanya,

The Sunday sounds fine, I usually take off from Perth to head home about 7:30, which means I'll be at yours by about 8:30.....would you like to send me a pm with your address and phone number and we can organise it over the phone?

Hey everyone,

I think I just found William & Dianah's first-born son John!!!

According to this death record I found on Familysearch, there was a John Roser buried in East Grinstead, Sussex, on the 18th of August 1841, which may be our John!

He was listed on the 1841 UK Census in East Grinstead, alive and well at age 12, but he never arrived in Australia with the rest of the family....perhaps this explains it?

What do you guys think?

P.S. I've ordered a death certificate from the UK, should get dispatched to me 25th Feb, so I should have my hands on it by early March.... :-)

Hi Rachael,

Yes you have found John.  I forwarded that entry to Jan about 6mths back.  We both agreed that it is safe to assume that it is him as it is where the family was living at the time.  Still looking for his burial plot though, maybe we can brainstorm when you come over.  Be careful about ordering Death Certs from the UK, quite often they don't have parents listed from what I have been told.

Cheers
Tanya
