Esther was born in 1815 in Sydney, Australia died in 1819 also in Sydney
I think I was wrong. I cannot for the life of me find where I got the original reference for this Esher's death. Please forgive me. I cannot amend the original post. There is no Modify button 
Hi Ted,
Since the revamp of Rootschat a few months ago, there have been changes to the "MODIFY" facility.
You can only change anything in your post for a period of 24 hours after you publish it.
There is a very good reason for this.
It is important that a thread on the forum flows reasonably well and makes sense to someone reading it. That it makes sense as queries and extensions of queries come up for exploration etc.
Well, what was happening was that some people were found to be incorrect in the information they put up on their post and instead of saying "I have made a mistake" they were deleting or altering whole chunks of their posts and sometimes even deleting the whole thing
without any explantion or aplogy at all When someone later on the thread made response and reference to the post as it was in its original form, nothing made sense because no-one could see the information they were referring to due to its being so altered.
Trystan decided that this was not OK because it makes people look silly and so only a short window is now available to correct or change things.
I, for one, support the change because that kind of conduct is rude and disrespectful to other helpers.
