Clarence is now looking likely as a new dwelling place for us for a time. We had one day at CLARENCE HISTORICAL SOCIETY in SCHAEFFER HOUSE and a brief look for the last home of the Kendalls on the Clarence but opportunity might now present to do some real searching.  This time we have been offered a base and will be able to investigate the Gordon Brook, Eatonsville and Orara River locales and perhaps encounter some oral history.

TRISH MAY also contacted us  and she has seen the baptismal certificates of the McNally children who were born in Australia and there was indeed a JOHN, of whom we lose track and Judith is listed as JUDITH KILFROY twice in documentation she has seen as well as being noted and JULIA KILROY in another situation. MCDERMOTT appears only to have been used on the voyage out to the Colony. 

After a prolonged Summer Break, our minds are beginning to return to the 19 Century. See you there.
