A Little Lancaster History
Descendant Chart for ~ William Johnson
This page is a work in progress which I recently started for my daughter Gina and her grandmother Heather.
On Heather’s birthday in July 2002 she asked me to see if I could find any of her siblings who she was estranged from in 1931 following the death of her mother Jessie. This led me to the following information.

Waddles – Day 3 & Jippers – Day 12
Not a very clear one, but here is mum, with Waddles on the left and Jippers using her as a slippery slide!
He loves to slide
The only way we could keep Red on the nest to start with after Waddles was born was to chuck another egg under her!
She is dedicated that's for sure..
Here is the new one, born @ 8am 19 Dec 2006 named Waddles (*cough* for obvious reasons), we had already lost one of the chicks and thought we lost this one too, found it outside the nest freezing cold, barely moving. A quick trip to the house, some heat and love and all is good. This one is a character.
Unfortunately that same night our beautiful baby ginger cat name Andy was chasing a big mean cat away at dinner time and was run over by a car out the front of our house. Not only does this stretch claim kangaroos, rabbits & birds now our cat. The worst thing? Our animals are rarely allowed to venture anywhere outside of their areas. The cats are locked away in the garage or house most of the time and only come out in the morning and evening for a stretch and play. Of all the animals we have Andy was my favourite and the most lovable. I will miss him dearly.
Here we have a our NEW chick starting to break out on Day 20 (today).
Tomorrow Jippers will have a play mate *clap*
If you look closely at the egg on the left (bottom right side) you can just you can see the egg breaking open… excitement plus, it's great to be on holidays to enjoy it, wish we had an incubator though.
This book is dedicated to the Friend Family and to the memory of Col and Alice Friend.
Memories:
Col was a special man and even to this day the boys both remember him for teaching them to shake hands with the standard “How do you do!”.
I remember a time when Col was in hospital in Wagga for his ‘angina’ and he told me to stop crossing my legs or I would end up like him… mmm I do wish I had have listened to him that one, because my legs give me grief these days. Ah, those wise old timers that we never listen to when we are younger.
