Lets try to help Ann Van with her family tree:

Hi, I am doing my family tree and am hoping you might be able to lend me a hand or post this to your page in case anybody has any info. My 3rd great-grandfather was Joseph Hatton IV (1832-1914), husband of Jane Stubbs and father to approx. 16-17 children. I understand that Joseph inherited the land known as Hatton's Flat and likely built Hatton's cottage and Hatton's orchard at 158 Blaxland Rd, Ryde beginning in 1884. I believe the house is now part of the Ryde Heritage Walking Trail and was last occupied in 1953. Do you have any photos/documents about the property or the Hattons that you could share (I'm particularly interested in two of John's daughters, Blanche Mildred Adamson (nee Hatton) and Minnie Grace Davis (nee Hatton)). Much obliged... Ann Van.

Can anyone help Andy with his request below ?

Hi I was wondering if you guys could help I'm doing family research and I have a great aunt who moved to Anthony Road denistone ryde. She lived there in the 1960s I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of maps or photos of anthony road from that time. She was in nursing and we assume she nursed at ryde hospital, only because it looks on Google maps to be an easy commute, do you know if they would have records of former employees. Many thanks in advance. Andy
