Open House at St Matthew's, Windsor.

I am disappointed that I cannot attend this event as I have convict family connections with this church.

Michelle Nicholls has talked about this event on the HHV Rootsweb List, I am republishing the info here:

"Rare opportunity to see the interiors of St. Matthew's Anglican Church Rectory & stables at open house with afternoon tea on Sunday, 11th April 2010 1-4pm (rectory & stables) and 18th April 2010 1-4pm (rectory only)
Where: 1 Moses Street Windsor. Bookings Essential, contact 02 4577 6677 for more info."

Where is Edward R Peterson?

Left behind in a house we purchased in the Hornsby Shire was a box of musty old books. Flipping through the pages of one I found a Baptismal Certificate for Edward Rouett (?) Peterson who was born on March 18, 1922 and baptised at St George's Church, Paddington on April 12, 1922 by J. Poole.

Who is Edward? I have searched Ancestry, The Ryerson Index, NSW BDMs, SAG Primary Records, Google and Trove but can find no clues to his existence.

I would love to reunite Edward's family with this certificate. If I fail I will give the certificate to The Society of Australian Genealogists who will hopefully add it to their Primary Records Collection.

No fools here

Today is April 1, April Fools Day.
