Website Update 19 August 2018

The website was updated 19 August 2018. 

131 new narratives have been added, and 50 changed, since the last website update on 14 March 2018. There are now a total of 12,483 detailed narratives available on the website and 20,047 people (176 new) in our database.

Unfortunately, this has been a long time coming. In April, and May, we experienced significant problems as our website host (for over 10 years) was taken over, and the new host took a long time to transfer the files across. 

Furthermore, simultaneously, we had major problems with the Windows 10 update, and lost all the data. Fortunately, we have a lot of backups and managed to overcome the initial issues. Then in June, another Windows 10 update to rectify the problems with the previous update, completely destroyed the computer. We then had to purchase a new computer and again reinstate all the files. Fortunately, everything is finally back to normal. 

Sincere thanks to all concerned with this latest website update.

Pask Graves in Buninyong, Victoria, Australia

This information relates to Chart 23 - Descendants of Edward Pask (1771-1836) who lived in Barholm, Lincolnshire.

Our friends, and fellow Guild of One-Name Studies member, Ken Toll and his wife Jean recently visited Australia. During their stay they visited Buninyong, in the state of Victoria. Buninyong is ten minutes' south of Ballarat along the Midland Highway.  Gold was discovered there in 1851. They were looking for an elusive Toll grave. Unfortunately they did not find it. However fortunate for us, they found two Pask graves in the cemetery and kindly photographed them, and sent the photographs to us a couple of weeks ago.

The graves belonged to Lambert Pask (1831-1899) and his family, including his wife Charlotte Pask née Walsher (1833-1907), his son George (1856-1913), and George's wife Elizabeth Catherine Pask née Jenkin (1856-1936), and their daughter Hilda Rosamond (1887-1907).

The photographs are included in a web album.



Many thanks to Ken and Jean for providing these photographs.
