Hi Annie.  Not  sure  about  Andrew's  middle  names.  Got  a  bit  mixed  up  earlier  with  him  and  James  Dickson.

No  particular  reason.  Just  thought  that's  the  way  it  happened.

Going  to  bed  soon  as  it  is  now  1.07.a.m.  ere  and,  I'm  not  long in  from  work.

They  more than  likely  returned  home  on a  troop ship. I  have seen  that a  bit.  Come round  the cape usually  I  don't  think  the Suez was open  but  then  not a historian  so  could indeed be wrong.

Not on 
findmypast  though could be mispelt.

I  am  in  touch  with  their  Grandaughter,  who was  born  in  Dadenong,  and,  she  did'nt  even  know  that.  I  sent  her  Grandad's  Enlisment  Papers to  her  and,  she  was  over  the  moon.  Had  another e-mal  from  her  just  now  asking  me  how  I  did  it.  I  explained  about  the   help  from  Roots  Chat.

James  and  Janet  had   6  kids  that  I  now  of.,  Robert  Dickson,  1920,  James,  1922,  marrled,  Merle  Brockford.  Ruby,  1925,  married,  Albert  Bonnerman,  William,  1927,  married, Constance  O'Dell,  Marion,  1930,  married  Raymond  Eades,  and,  Neil,  married  to  a  Sue  ???  Can  you   tell  me   when  any of  them  died?
