My Name is Stuart Hose I was born in Brisbane in 1950 to Errol Hose. I'm just learning how to use computers. I am doing our family tree and have come across this. Your Grandmother FLora Ivy was my grandfather Roy Stuart's sister. I have recently been over to Scotland to follow our family history and I have gone back to James Mucklehose born 1769, which turns to be the sixth generation of the Hose family in Australia. I live in Mackay, QLD and have been to Mt Bassett Cemetery and have found Flora and Elma's grave site. I have read your blog and I would really like to get in contact with you if you can, my email is stuarthose@hotmail.com or please feel free to call me (07)49574927 <br />Look forward to your response,<br />Thanks Stuart HoseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283177897800566665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-29079446845240832472016-07-20T17:36:21.893-07:002016-07-20T17:36:21.893-07:00..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317545577540113144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-11034301670333092442016-07-20T17:35:58.723-07:002016-07-20T17:35:58.723-07:00HI my name is Stuart Hoes. your grandmother was fa...HI my name is Stuart Hoes. your grandmother was fathers sister and I am doing a family history.

Some sad, too. That is the way of life, now isn't it? <br /><br />Your tree is just full of beautiful women. Nobody in my family except me is interested in the least in my mother and grandmother's letters or in the mountain of pictures of the late 1800's and early 1900's that were of and about my father's life. I cherish them!Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-84139105550672299632016-02-19T16:25:42.980-08:002016-02-19T16:25:42.980-08:00Hi Helsie...I think it's sad that these family...Hi Helsie...I think it's sad that these family stories disappear and become forgotten...that some show no interest in the stories. It's all part of who we are...who our children and our future generations become. I've nieces and nephews who don't give a damn...and I believe...okay...they might not be interested, but their children might be...and when they ask the questions about their heritage and stories from the past...there will be nothing to tell them!!!<br /><br />Mum was a good-looking girl and woman. She carried herself well, too...with poise. She learned dance for years as a child, so that didn't go astray throughout her life.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-4712735555685090972016-02-19T04:35:19.068-08:002016-02-19T04:35:19.068-08:00You're right about asking about our Oldies'...You're right about asking about our Oldies' stories and taking time to write them down.

People obsessed with other lives but disinterested in the stories of their nearest and dearest.<br /><br />By the way your mother was a gorgeous looking lass and if she was passing our house just now, I would open the window and wolf whistle at her. Is such a response politically correct or not?Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-22408935072601041312016-02-18T23:22:21.678-08:002016-02-18T23:22:21.678-08:00'laso'?? that should be also.'laso'?? that should be also.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-49382848319062751212016-02-18T23:21:33.765-08:002016-02-18T23:21:33.765-08:00My son has the same book, with bookmarks in the pa...My son has the same book, with bookmarks in the pages for Carnegie, Ross and McNaghten tartans, all of which he can wear if he wants to.

And nowadays there is a Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum situated where the Scottish Mine was...at the southern entrance to the town. GYMPIE Eldorado Mine is now officially in the hands of an overseas company.<br /><br />The last operating gold mine, Eldorado Mine was bought by Singapore interests a couple or so of years ago, but as far as I know, it has since been shut down. <br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-59264259369839062592016-02-18T14:39:42.426-08:002016-02-18T14:39:42.426-08:00Thanks, Margaret...my mother was a good-looking wo...Thanks, Margaret...my mother was a good-looking woman...and she had poise, she carried herself well.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by.
