No hardly anything at all. All we could remember was their grandmothers maiden name and her brother was an authopedic surgeon - I have traced them back that far mainly through a lot of hard work.

We thought the family came from Kyneton and that is not seeming very likely now.

With all those Aunties and Uncles - I wonder why we always thought Grandma had no family - there must have been cousins somewhere.

Thank you for that Marriage - Mary was an artist from what I remember. Grandma used to have paintings on her wall that were painted by her mother.

Thank you so much for helping with all of this.
