Hi Jan,

Welcome to Rootschat.....and congratulations on being the lucky recipient of the May 2005 challenge.  

I can't believe that we are already back to 1768 already with Hunters....wasn't able to get to the computer since this morning (husband needed it for work) and had been initially worried that Florence's visitor status might be problematic, although I did think I spotted her brother and wife two doors away in 1881. Well done everybody!

When you've had a chance to look at all the posts, do let us know if what is posted so far agrees with what you already know about the family and if there are any specific questions/brick walls that you would like us to try and help with do ask....

Ros....which Australian did Florence marry? Have people found her in 1891
and 1901?
Did she also emigrate like Abraham?

Best regards,

Emily

It might just be a Red Herring!!!!!
