I've updated the chart from 3 years ago and it now has a lot more of the details filled out as well listing the outstanding questions to be answered.

Treasures Solictors Glostershire

I contacted Treasures solicitors with regard to the shooting of my Great Grandmother by her husband Samual Millard in 1916. Unfortunatly they no longer have the records (not that surprising but it is a little dissapointing).

Dear Sir

Thank you for your enquiry. We do not hold any records from that time.

Yours faithfully

Lovell Glendower Trasham - Sydney Waterboard Memorial

I've just had the most fantastic assistance from Vera Jeffery the Archivist at the Sydney Water /Sydney Catchment Authority, Historical Research and Archives Facility.

I discovered in a mention of his death in the Sydney Morning Herald, that Lovell worked for a time at the Sydney waterboard. I finally located the name of the person to contact at the waterboard and she has looked up his records.

Unfortunatly there was no luck finding his employment card but she did locate his name in the Sydney Water Board Memorial book for WW1 & WW2 (the book lists all waterboard staff that served in WWI and WWII). The star next to his name means he died whilst serving in the forces.

Stella Burton - Wife of Lovell Glendower Tresham

Stella Tresham (nee Burton) was born in Aldwinckle Northampton England in 1903. Immigrating to Australia in 1922, she married Lovell in 1940. For most of her time in Australia she appears to have lived in Alexandria, Redfern and Surry Hills.

I visited her grave today, there where signs of flowers (plastic and old) which might imply that someone alive cares for or is even related to her... The cemetary would give me no details about the grave other than to say it was not paid for by a person and that the grave beside it (surname Burton) was not paid for by the same person.

I wonder who George was, and am pleased that she appears to have found someone after Lovells untimely death.
