Clare Stapleton END OF QUOTE Hi Clare My ggrandfather's brother, Charles Thomas FRANCIS and his wife, Elizabeth, moved to a farm at Brigalow on the Darling Downs about 1920. Their youngest child, Betty Grace FRANCIS, was born on 12 August 1929. She married a MYERS. Unfortunately, that is all I know about Betty.

Thanks so much for the link to electoral rolls. I am trying to find out details about larger race meetings in the bush. Does anyone know of a good resource? I am in Sydney briefly for work and can get into the city to the libraries etc. Too good an opportunity to miss! My great-grandfather, John McHUGH, won a Lady's Bangle somewhere about 1900 with a horse called Canadian, ridden by Dick Skuthorpe who was a relative of his wife-to-be. It was a major meet as I have been told that the Bangle was run on the Saturday and the Lady's Bracelet on the Sunday. The bangle has been passed down our family. It's quite a piece of work - pearls, diamonds and gold. I am particularly hopeful that I might find descriptions of such meetings and the attendant socialising, dances, etc. Any ideas?
