Fawbert & Barnard 1 of 2
Good morning Listers,
This has been very interesting reading all the responses. The history
lesson on the village of Harlow and its surrounds and the people of that
time is really great.
By the way it there an 1851 Census that may show students at the school,
and if so, are there any Christies attending?
With the history of England you can go back to Roman occupation and even
further back than that and what a rich history it is, up to the present
day. Where here in the land Down Under, our white history began on an
afternoon in mid Summer on 26th January, 1788, when the First Fleet
sailed into Port Jackson from Botany Bay and dropped anchor in Syndey
Cove (Circular Quay) and the beginnings of a Penal Colony was set up,
which was the seed of a Nation to come. However, the history of this
land and it original people go back over 80,000 years.
The discussion has been a great learning curve, thank you so much.
Regards,
Janice
