Dear all
I have recently been contacted by a volunteer at the Bendigo Regional Genealogical Society, who was looking for relatives of Jean Isobel Oats, Grand daughter of Richard Oats (1829 - 1906) and Jane Penrose (1836 - 19210), who emigrated to Australia in the early 1870's. I have now been sent a baby picture of Isobel - which has taken 100 years to travel the 10,000 miles back to the UK! I have found no descendants of Richard and Jane in Australia, but if anyone else here is related to them, I am happy to provide a copy of Isobel's baby picture for their records.
I felt very touched that someone had put in the level of research to return the photo and am more than happy to do my bit to share with any other relatives.
Thanks
Debs
