Embedded Files
This is an area I have set up for general resources that I have found or develkoped as part of my research.
This is a collection of documents, scanned from photocopies of varying quality. The documents were sorted into tabs for each person or family and cover the first Kemps and Rigbys to arrive in Australia and each of the Children of William and Esther Kemp. There is a degree of duplication in some of the documents and there appear to be some pages mixed up. But they have been scanned exactly as they were.
It is worth browsing through the stories in particular, because there are snippets of information that add to what we know about our own family members.
This resource package includes a scanned copy of the diary and a transcript. There are also a number of photographs in the 1920s album.
This tells some of the story of Betty Ward's life. A proforma book, it is filled out in her own handwriting and illustrated with some of her favourite photos. It has not been completed, but a wonderful read just the same.
A Police notebook from part of William Stewart's time in the Edinburgh Police. 198 pages of the routine and mundane life of PC 270. This diary dates from 1907 to 1910, which was after William had served in the Boer War and before he emigrated to Australia.
A piece of detective work on the location of the old family home in Scotland.
This section contains some miscellaneous resources, some of which are only remotely connected to our family.
