James was my great grandfather. He married Ann Power in 1850, and their daughter Lydia was my grand mother. Lydia's son John ( Jack) was my Dad. James is buried at Branxholme, Ann at Dunkeld, Lydia and my Dad at Stawell. Lydia's sister, Susan married into the Delley family of Hall's Gap. I have a pic of her.
