Steve Burnham's website

Hi XXX, just a note to say the website is back up. But it's at www.burnham.net.au

Pass it on!
Cheers.

In previous journals I have referred readers to Owen (Vin) Burnham's LIFE IN ROSEBUD IN THE EARLY YEARS. The website has been offline for some time but is now back at . To access Vin's story, click on ALL IN THE FAMILY at the top of the page.

The following appears elsewhere in more detail in my journals but will be handy to know before you read Vin Burnham's story.

The fisherman at Rosebud West named by Vin as Axel was Axel Vincent who had apparently taken over from Chatfield.

Mr Durham was Antonio,the son of Emily (nee King) and a Greek fisherman. Emily's sister Elizabeth had married Fort Lacco who was also Greek and was the grantee of the crown allotment on the west side of Durham Place. It was in a weatherboard house in the middle of this block that Judith Mavis Cock spent her first six or seven summers before her father took his family to Tasmania; Judith is better known as Judith Durham of The Seekers,who adopted her mother's maiden name as a stage name. Antonio's daughter married a D.F.C. winning pilot (William Alexander?)Cock, thus explaining Judith's Greek heritage on her mother's side. The Durham/Lacco relationship stems from Judith's great grandmother, Emily,and Elizabeth (Mrs Fort Lacco) being sisters.
