Hi again....I have sent you a separate email documenting all the info I have gained from the ships passenger list for the Hilton.....lots of extended family came together....surnames are different due to wifes taking husbands names etc. Found a great article about Mary Ann Muckaway with just so much material in it....finally! a convict connection with William Hampton being convicted of stealing firewood....very sad but this is my first felon relative as such!! Still odd things to figure out with Ann having children but not recording the fathers name or names, but definitely doing better than yesterday!! Also a Philip Strong has a great site about his family that helped me enormously on the McLean side and a Pamela (who I believe is one of Uncle Teddy's daughters) answered an old email of mine from a couple of years back.....I am hoping she is still alive....she would be your cousin. I too was devastated when 119 Ballina Street burnt down....one of the other relatives used to live in 121 next door and I noticed that it is currently a development block and up for sale!! I miss Nanny all the time....just loved her to bits. Still have heaps to do with Aunty Kaye.....her son David passed away very sadly a few years back and Richard is now in Armidale or similar.....I have heaps to do with Aunty Lesleys children Andrew, Joann and Kylie...they all have their own children now. Looking forward to hearing about Susie and Louise in particular...I adored Suze and Louise and I were like sisters.....chat again xxxxKim
