Hi everyone, like Ruth Raintree, I am also a great-granddaughter of John and Margaret Fulford who settled in North Queensland, my father being Henry Fulford. I have also recently become interested in family history. My dad, who died in 2004 aged 92, did a couple of trips to Devon and Buckland Brewer, so I have photographs that he took while there. I know that he visited and became friends with Ivor and Mary Fulford and corresponded with them. I note from my father's address book that they lived in West Wales in Hakin. I seem to recall that Ivor was the son of John Fulford's brother. I don't know which one. Maybe someone knows?.I have in my possession a framed embroidery done by Elizabeth Lea Tancock aged 15 in 1835. She was John Fulford's mother.

Anyway I've broken the ice. By the way I notice the name Gray in the group. My mother was a Gray and the great-grandaughter of a John Gray who, with his family, came to Australia in 1841 and settled in Victoria. Just a bit of trivia.

A merry Xmas and happy New Year to you all,

Eileen White
