Meredith told me today that our grandfather Edgar Wilson's grandfather was Joseph Wilson, who had a dairy farm in Chapel St. Prahran. Can you imagine that? This must have been around 1860 or so. For interstaters like Lesley who wouldn't know of Chapel St Prahran, it's a trendy shopping area a few kilometres from the Melbourne CBD. Obviously back then it was on the outskirts of the city.
His grandmother was a Crockett, an Irish English lady who hailed from the same place in England that the legendary American frontiersman's family came in the 1700's. So Jod reckons we are related to Davy Crockett?

Dear Lesley, Somehow I was trying to comment on your comment and then edit a mistake and somehow I have deleted yours and can't get it back. Also I fear I may hve deleted your other previous comments on other posts. I assure you this is an accident and I'm most annoyed at myself and my lack of expertise. I hope I haven't spammed you. Please if other comments do not show up let me know i'll have to try to rectify.
All is well Lesley, you are not spam, and your test comment came through, I published it but then thought better of it as you asked me not to. Sorry for the glitz, I'm a little more learned now.
