Acknowlegements

I would sincerely like to thank those who helped me compile the information for this website.  I would like to especially mention Robert George (Bob) Lilley who now lives in Warrambool.  He gave me so much invaluable information both over the phone and in his various letters.  Barbara Hill, whose support and checking of various details was of a tremendous help.  Others to whom I am most grateful for their time, effort and information are Ray Lilley, Lorna Armitstead, Shirley Lilley, George Clarke, Shirley Askew, Janelle Lilley, Glen Lilley, Kay Lilley, Joan Scannell, David Lilley, Arthur Askew, Vera Oman, Graeme Askew, Julie Hamilton, Mark Hill and Sam Scannell. 

More recently finding Brian James Lilley in Bedford, UK. and discovering all the work he has done in researching his book 'Three Hundred Years of Lilley Family History' has been wonderful inspiration to me.  The sharing of information has opened up many links from the past to the present that might have otherwise gone undetected.

In addition to the abovementioned people, I would like to thank the following organisations and acknowledge the following publications all of which helped in the preparation of this website.  The Church of The Latter Day Saints in Charlestown, Newcastle City Library, Newcastle Family History Society,  The Public Records Office in Victoria, The Victorian State Library, The National Library in Canberra, The Ballarat Star, The Geelong Advertiser and “Back to Ecklin”.  Also the world wide web and in particular Tripod for hosting  this site and also Patricia Downes website. 

Contributions

I would be very grateful for any piece of information, no matter how small, that can be contributed to this project.  It doesn't have to be a Gedcom file, a few lines in an e-mail would be fine.  Also I would like some photographs to include in the Photo Album.
