Relations

22 June – Sunday

First up, we compared caravans with Gary, who has a "new" caravan as well. It was definitely a case of you show me yours and I'll show you mine!

Another "relie day" with a visit to Les’ cousin, Wendy, for lunch and long discussions about family history and exchange of information. The laptop really came in for a workout here! We were left wondering if there was a connection between our ancestors in colonial Van Diemen’s Land as Wendy (and Les) has an ancestor called Margaret Lettice whose daughter was named Ann Eliza and I have an ancestor named Margaret Lettice Martin, who has a sister named Ann Eliza. With other coincidences in the families’ history, we were left wondering if Margaret Lettice was assigned to the Martin family as a servant.

Then a surprise when we returned to Aunty Pat’s to discover her son, Brian and his wife, were there. We haven’t seen either of them for about 20 years!
