Hello Elizabeth
My name is Liz Donnelly and I am tracing the Gardner family. I found with much excitement part of my family on your site. James Gray Gardner is, I hope, my great grandfather's brother. The only information I have is - Colin Gardner arrived in Melbourne in 1853, was married to Mary Gray and had a son, John Matthew Gardner in Stanley, Vic. He married a Mary Wilson Grey (so they say) and my grandmother was one of this family. I would dearly love to trace Colin more fully. Spoke with my Dad, who wasn't much help but he does remember an Aunty Else Kerr. I wonder if her husband may have been related to the Kerrs in your tree. My grandmother was born in Milawa (1887) as was some of her family, I believe. She married my grandad, Thomas William Allen in Milawa and then came back to his property at Greenmount, south of Toowoomba, Qld. Would love to hear from you and your opinion.

Regards
Liz Donnelly
