Gallery Page and Story
(18 Jan 2024)
As promised in my 11 Jan post, I have now implemented a Gallery page and added the story of Goachem Swain Richardson ... read on.
The new Gallery page contains all the individuals for whom I have a photograph, only those individual whom I believe to be no longer living are shown on this page. To find out further about any of the pictured individuals simply click on their photo. If anyone has any photos of individuals that appear on this site and who would be prepared to share them with me, then please get in touch.
I have also finally put together the story on Goachem Swain Richardson, by all accounts he led a fascinating life. I have been unable to find a photograph of him, so if anyone out there has one please get in touch.
New for 2025
(11 Jan 2024)
Happy New Year, here's a sneak peak at what is (hopefully) coming up this year ... read on.
First of I've just added a load more names and information, as well as correcting a few facts and corroborating others. That is what I've mainly been doing in the run up to Christmas.
In my last post I mentioned I was "looking into ways to display an individual's timeline, from birth to death, listing things like residences and occupations", that is still my intention, but as of yet I haven't completed it. I have, however, almost finished a new "Gallery" page.
At present this will show all the photos I have for individuals who (I believe) are no longer living. Clicking on a photo will take you to that individuals page where you can find out more about them. I hope to have this up and running before the end of January.
I am currently in the process of tracking down more census details, in order to help me display the "Timeline" idea mentioned above. Hopefully I will have this in place before the good weather kicks in and I spend more time in the garden rather than researching my family history.
As always, I am trying to put together the stories of my ancestor's lives. I am currently in the process of collating information on Goachem Swain Richardson, who it appears was an inventor and an early pioneer in the aviation history of Australia with his invention of the "pedal cycle plane" in 1908.
So, hopefully, lots to look forward throughout the coming year, remember to check in often.
